Sigmund Freud, the early 20th century's founder of psychoanalysis, has a far greater lasting influence than simply within the world of psychology. In Freud's 1930 masterwork, Civilization & its Discontents, connections and conclusions are drawn between society and the individual in terms of sociopolitical interests. More specifically, the most important Freudian theory for political scientists stands as the surprisingly antagonistic dichotomy between modern, communitarian society and the very aggressive, violent nature of individualistic humanity.

For a species evolved to a point where individualism and communitarianism exist together rather peaceably, if somewhat uncomfortably, the very thought that individualism, through latent destructive behaviors, could bring about the demise of society stands as highly controversial and worrisome. Freudian theories of civilization, governance, and happiness, therefore, dictate that a system of governance be found and implemented that caters to the wants and needs of humanity while protecting against the ills of the selfsame constituent individuals - animalistic aggression is to be feared, while civilized behavior oriented toward a peaceful society is wrought.
