Here are some specifics on my Reich article. . . . I want to draw your attention to a difficulty in translating this text into English. These two quite contrary senses make for a striking play on words, which I am developing in depth in my Encyclop die des Apparences, but I don't see how it can be rendered in English. . . .
Misery is in fact the sole real property of the unhappy public.
In contrast, commercial publicity speaks of something that does not belong to the public, but it speaks of it in a public manner. It is the character of that which belongs to the public, of that which the public possesses, of public property. But, this public property may very well be nonpublic, secret, not revealed. This is the case with misery. It is that which is known by the public, that which is done in its presence.
