Reich and Fromm Today

Are Fromm and Reich important today with psychoanalysis being as discredited as it is? Does the character structure, molded by a society and associated with unconscious strivings and desires account for a person's conscious behavior or is it just cognitive therapy that people need to get and realize the negative and distorted thoughts they are having?

For anarchists, Reich said that people are not ready for freedom; that their character structure is too messed up to have them be totally free as anarchists would assume. People are accustomed to and defined by authority that they would shrink from freedom.

But maybe after all the people will set themselves free, and they will be ready for freedom only when they themselves are ready to break the chains.

So what is the job of an anarchist, then? Is it inevitable? Are they to describe a path towards lowest cost bloodshed or the path of least resistance and reactionary violence?

Maybe these thoughts could be broken up and fleshed out a little.
