The Hippy movement and beyond it the counter-culture born in the United States in the middle of the Sixties questioned in a radical way the values of the patriarchal and capitalist middle-class society. In the field of art as well as in the fields of the individual, social and political life. Particularly by seeking individual blooming, by practicing hedonism and detachment towards tangible properties, as well as non-violence.

The movements of spring 1968 mark the advent of a new social class: youth. Although it will quickly become a market segment, it is notable that some of the most important organizations for the defense of the human rights will be treading on the hells of the 68's movements (Amnesty, Survival, Greenpeace, the Women's lib...). The spirit of May 68 symbolizes the rebellion against patriarchal authority and the yoke of Puritanism.

The libertarian anarchistic theory places freedom and individual autonomy in the center of its project. The organization, from the base, of the individuals enables them to do without a power imposed by the top: that's self-management.
"I think it only makes sense to seek out and identify structures of authority, hierarchy, and domination in every aspect of life, and to challenge them ; unless a justification for them can be given, they are illegitimate, and should be dismantled, to increase the scope of human freedom." Noam Chomsky.
This social organization has known rare beginnings of implementation (in Paris in 1871, in Ukraine about 1918, in Spain in 1936) which were all violently suppressed by the holders of the authority (either bourgeois or communist).

Whereas the feminist movement draws its roots in the organizations of the suffragettes, born from the first and then the second world war, it is at the beginning of the Seventies that feminist movements (e.g.: the Women's liberation front) carried their combat on the field of sexuality, directly facing the patriarchate and opening the way to the sexual liberation. Movements for the defense of the rights of the homosexuals were born at the same time in reaction against centuries of discriminations.

Exterminated, deprived of their lands, of their culture or still resisting on territories being
constantly reduced, the indigenous people (Indians of the Americas, Bushmen of
the Kalahari desert, Aboriginals of Australia, Papua of New Guinea, people of

on to defend their rights and their cultures against the states which colonize them and
against the

Political ecology is also born at the
beginning of the Seventies. One of its first spokesman was René Dumont, who
kept on warning against the latent
and generalized famine situation that we know today.
At the same time the work of the club of Rome already pointed out the impossibility of an
everlasting growth. Thus, in the current
state of the planet, political ecology necessarily contradicts
the consumerist model of society which is supported only by
growth.

* According to the political psychoanalysis, by Roger Dadoun, P.U.F., Paris, 1995.
Beyond his therapeutic practice, the founder of the psychoanalysis was very early interested in the cultural but also political issues (i.e. regarding the institution of the society and relationships of domination, power and association ), particularly by pointing out these stakes in "Mass psychology and the analyze of the ego" (1921), putting forward the devastations of sexual repression (in "the sexual life") and vigorously denouncing the alienating and degrading role of religions (in "the future of an illusion" (1927) and "Uneasiness in the civilization" (1930)).
Psychoanalysis is revolutionary - revolution must be psychoanalytical: such is the position of Gross, engaging on the prospect offered by the meeting of two movements of avant-garde in the beginning of the XXth century: a revolutionary psychoanalysis asserted by Freud and anarchism. The unconscious appears in the foreground of the political project of Gross: repression must be lifted, and sexuality, base and vital expression of the human condition, released. He reintroduces the woman, driven back by culture, as a dynamic agent in the fight for the political and sexual liberation: "the first and true revolution will join together Woman, Freedom and the Mind" he writes in 1913.

Being interested in the links that could be establish between Marxism and psychoanalysis, Fenichel wrote during its exile in the United States a long series of Rundbriefe (circular-letter) intended for a very restricted circle.
Adler was primarily concerned by the social aspects, the adaptability of the individual to the hard laws of society. He saw there a determining role for an education having to train a subject able to exert the plenitude of its potentialities and to affirm itself as a citizen conscious of his rights and mastering them.
Approaching the varied topics of Marxism and religions, Fromm describes in "the fear of freedom" (1941) the condition of the modern man at grips with his sadomasochistic tendencies, being exerted in a favorable economic and social context. He also set lights, in its study on "the mission of Sigmund Freud" (1959), on the political and "religious" dimension of the work of Freud.
The author of "Eros and civilization" and of "the one dimensional man" (1964) analyzes the technological capitalist society and its capacity to assimilate both opposition and the instinctual impulses. He connects the political and social structures with the psychic structure which monopolize the libido in order to subject it to the "principle of output", in particular by concentrating it exclusively in the genital zone.
Being interested in schizophrenia and paranoia rather than in the neuroses, Deleuze and Guattari ("Capitalism and schizophrenia" (1972-1980)) analyze the mechanics of power and track ordinary Fascism sometimes even present within the antifascists organizations. They oppose to it the horizontality of networks in a libertarian point of view.
