Brecht is full of love

For all men are agreed that today the "discontinuity" of personality is a fact. Whether this "discontinuity" takes the form of "alienation", "self division", discord between the "id", the "ego" and the "super ego", or between the "unconscious" or "subconscious" and the "conscious", thinkers of all schools are united in their assertion that the contradictions between human aspirations and goals and their fulfillment within our social system have become sharpened to the point of explosion.

(Brecht in Germany, The Epic Theater)
