Conscience, Superego, Superid

Freud's Superego coordinates the relation between the Ego and a Group by interalizing the force of the latter.  When that force is represented as a set of values, it is conceived as 'Morality', with the Superego as 'conscience'.  Accordingly, one's Ego is the locus of a battleground between one's Id and the Group, usually resulting in the repression and sublimation of the latter, though with some residual discontent.  However, this scheme does not account for the concept of Conscience that is connoted in 'conscientious objector'.  For, what is expressed in the latter is not repressed Id, but a discontent with the current Group, on the basis of the values of a different collective organization, for example, that of a Socialist to the dehumanization that is the norm in a Capitalist society.  In such cases, Conscience is an expression of the Superid, i. e. of a Species-principle, in the face of a degenerating mode of organization.
