Wilhelm Reich tried to join Marxism and psychoanalysis in studies of fascism, producing a very popular book, The Mass Psychology of Fascism. When it was published in 1933, it banned by the Nazis and Reich moved to the United States in 1939, where he continued his orgone research.
In The Anti-Œdipus, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari followed up Reich's problem: "why did the masses desire fascism?", which led them to a critique of Freudo-Marxism.
