The Mass Psychology of Fascism is pseudoscientific, pedophilic trash, and was accordingly burned on the orders of the US Government in the 50s.

    In a saner time, this book was received with hostility, but today it informs the ideology of the ruling elites. Freudian psychoanalysis is wholly pseudoscientific, and psychology is largely pseudoscientific (and has historically been a means for political persecution) though there are elements which are better supported by evidence (i.e. IQ and the Five-Factor Model of Personality). Whether this book was truly burned because it was a work of quackery, or because it was insightful, or because it was obscene, Jewish poison, remains an open question.
