Review Fromm, E.: Should ew hate Hitler? (1942a). Psychology of Hate

  • Dr. E. Fromm, in a recent report to the Journal of the American Home Economics Association, discussed the two kinds of hatred which he claims exist. One is what he calls the >counterpoint of life<. It is rational hatred, aroused by an attack on life, freedom, country, some person or institution we love. Such hatred is necessary for winning a war against aggression. >People must love what they are defending, in order to hate their attackers effectively.< The other kind of hatred, which he calls >character-conditioned<, was made use of by the Nazis in recruiting their party. The bulk of their recruits came from the lower middle class, who had led a starved and frustrated life socially and economically, particularly since 1918, in Germany. This led to tremendous irrational hatred and destructiveness which could only be expressed in small doses before the Nazi party offered an outlet.
