Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation and Political Control (Slavery of Sin) [E. Michael Jones]

Read the Full ArticleIn Libido Dominandi, E. Michael Jones explores the historical thesis that sexual liberation has been systematically utilized as a sophisticated method of political and social control. The text traces a two-hundred-year trajectory from the Enlightenment and the Marquis de Sade to modern behavioral psychology and the advertising industry, arguing that inciting passions renders individuals more manageable by the state. By eroding traditional moral structures and the authority of the family, powerful elites utilize the resulting addictions and guilt to manipulate public behavior and suppress political opposition. Jones suggests that what is marketed as personal “freedom” is actually a form of bondage that replaces internal self-governance with external technological and psychic regulation. Ultimately, the work posits that a culture governed by unrestrained appetite inevitably leads to a totalitarian social order dominated by those who provide and regulate those gratifications.Video: The 200-Year Plan to Own You This is a public episode.
