Fascism and Capitalist Discourse: a synthetic object

Resumos

This article is based on two statements made by Lacan regarding fascism, and is guided by questioning the object value of fallacious elements, offered as promoters of cohesion in the fascist crowd, which spread and are quickly consumed. These objects allow a historical examination of the fascist ideal and an articulation with the Lacanian propositions on the Capitalist Discourse. Freudian contributions about the libidinal maintenance of the crowds are resumed, as well as their impact on the thought of Reich and Adorno in their assertions about fascism. Juxtaposing the elements of the Capitalist Discourse in an order that combines the leader, the demagogic knowledge, the forged synthetic object, and the subject refusing the dimension of the lack, allows to articulate this socially decoupled discourse to the highlights regarding the fascist crowd cohesion.

Key words:
Psychoanalysis; capitalism; fascism; discourses
