Freudianism and Socialism - Two Ideas That Need to Die

I’ve wondered for quite some time why the two above isms are so tenaciously defended by their adherents.  Some of whom actually seem to have the minds that would allow them to rationally consider the ideas propounded by these isms.  This article, titled “Psychoanalysis Is Dead ... So How Does That Make You Feel?," which examines the "utter disappointment" Freud’s proponents must be feeling as his work is rationally considered in our day and age.  The answer, from the article, which I must state I find no fault with.

"You can always count on intellectuals to keep a candle burning for whatever idea they’ve invested long years, enormous sums of money and, perhaps above all, limitless ego promoting."

Sheila, at Sheila Astray’s Redhead Ramblings offers some interesting commentary on this also and I was led here by this post at Cold Fury.
