Key influences on the thinking of Nildo Viana

This thinker demonstrates in his writings, some fundamental influences and other less relevant. On policy design, as well as Marx's work, you can see in their thinking the influence of Anton Pannekoek, Karl Korsch, Otto Rühle, among other representatives of council communism. In the methodological aspect, the major influences are Marx and Korsch, as well as discussion of Marxism as it is based on Korsch and his definition of Marxism as "theoretical expression of the labor movement" that it will distinguish between authentic and pseudomarxismo Marxism. Also the works of Erich Fromm, Jean Barrot, Mauritius Tragtenberg, Freud, Marcuse, Robert Michels, among others, are also important in their formulations, like anarchism, especially Daniel Guérin and Mikhail Bakunin. Psychoanalysis also exerts great influence on his thinking, and he produced some work trying to establish a synthesis of authentic Marxism and psicanálise36. The works of Freud and Fromm are the most cited by him in his production geared to psychoanalytic issues. But other psychoanalysts are present in your analysis, as Reich, Jung and others. Thus, the most important influences on his thinking are Marxism (Marx and a few others which he calls "authentic Marxism"), psychoanalysis and anarchism.
