Yep, and as we dismiss psychoanalysis and all other theories of the subject (except Plekhanov's of course), we better make sure we retain our Historical Materialist one, the one that doesn't occlude the Marxist conceptions of class, but that will, with proper Organization, lift the masses out of their false consciousness.
