His treatment of the theories of Freud and Lacan demonstrate a much more subjective view of the danger of any government than they had.
Lacan's most famous essay in literary circles is probably his "Seminar on 'The Purloined Letter,'" that begins with Freud's "compulsion to repeat" (Wiederholangszwang), which Lacan renders as "the repetition automatism" (in the English translation).
At the beginning, we have the proposition, apropos Monica Lewinsky, that Bill Clinton may have been "the world's first Lacanian president" because, as Lacan saw it, "there is no such thing as a sexual relationship" (and as Clinton tried to explain to a mortified nation, oral sex should be thought of as an aperitif rather than an entree).
