description In this article we will review the work of Wilhelm Reich, a little-known author who, combining the thoughts of Freud and Marx, built a frankly critical and feminist look of modern Western capitalism, inherently patriarchal. After reviewing his intellectual biography, we will divide the work into two parts: in the first, we will trace the diagnosis of the current social reality that the author constructs, and in the second, we will reconstruct his proposed solution to the social problems indicated. Starting from the hypothesis that repression leads to authoritarianism and violence, and liberation leads to coexistence and love, we will systematize the main concepts of the Reichian perspective, which, in our understanding, are: what we will call vitalism, sexuality, love, sexual economy, revolution, and the democracy of work.

En este artículo revisaremos la obra de Wilhelm Reich, autor poco conocido que, combinando los pensamientos de Freud y de Marx, construyó una mirada francamente crítica y feminista sobre el capitalismo moderno occidental, inherentemente patriarcal. Luego de repasar su biografía intelectual, dividiremos el trabajo en dos partes: en la primera, rastrearemos el diagnóstico de la realidad social actual que el autor construye, y en la segunda, reconstruiremos su propuesta de solución a los problemas sociales señalados. Partiendo de la hipótesis de que la represión lleva al autoritarismo y la violencia, y la liberación lleva a la convivencia y el amor, iremos sistematizando los conceptos principales de la perspectiva reichiana, que, a nuestro entender, son: lo que llamaremos vitalismo, la sexualidad, el amor, la economía sexual, la revolución, y la democracia del trabajo.
