Eros, Civilization, Species

Freud and Marcuse agree that Eros and Civilization are in conflict, and that the former is a creative drive in the Id of individuals, while the latter is a condition of the species, but Marcuse regards the antagonism as resolvable by Socialism.  However, neither seems to consider that as the drive to reproduce, Eros is a Species-principle.  Accordingly, the relation between Eros and Civilization is not one between Individual and Species, resolvable or otherwise, but between two Species-principles, e. g. a drive to diversify, and a drive to stabilize.  Thus, on the latter basis, a predominance of a drive to stabilize can breed discontent in the drive to diversify, and equilibrium can be restored via the non-alienated sublimation of Eros possible in Socialism.
