No, I am not saying we can do away with an unconscious 
There always HAS to be an unconscious as well as a conscious. You cant have one without the other. it is continuum-----it would be made to have to remember how to walk and do the million things you process unconsciously. So I dont mean that.
What I mean is to become aware of what the rich are doing with our unconsciousness. How they are manipulating it. So for example, if you are familiar with Edward Bernays. He is known as the 'father of spin' and his uncle was Sigmund Freud, and he used his uncle's theories of the unconscious to use in propaganda so as to make us do things without our knowing. An example would be showing --in an advert-- a car, and putting a pretty half naked girl on the car. Now why would anyone want to do that? Well there is the desire for sex, and to put this in the context of a car ad is the hooking of this unconscious desire so you associate having a car with fulfilling your sexual needs. You might be an ugly fat slob who has no chance with the girl they show but that doesn't matter IF they get results and hook your mind so you buy their product.
Another one he did. he was approached by the tobacco industry worried that not many women were smoking, and they wanted to expand their market. So Bernays arranged this big photoshoot in NYC where pseudo-suffragettes would march down the street in a real parade, and on cue they would reach under their coats and in their garters they had cigarettes and they all lit a ciggie up at the same time. Now this act had a lot of unconscious associations----The ciggie becomes the 'mini-penis', and the 'torch of liberation'---so, see what he was doing. He was unconsciously associating in the minds of masses of women-- in the age of them desiring liberation-- that smoking is a sign of liberation!! So see the sickness?---they become then addicted to cancer-inducing baccy but pretend to themselves they're liberated!
You see it now. Many women, especially young --watch how they pose with cigs in social places etc. I also use to have this feeling when I smoked them--this sense of rebelliousness. Especially when it was tokin.
"“Jung thought that Germans, English, and Anglo-Americans were all part of the Germanic family tree. The Jews, in his view, had been civilized too long--uprooted from the soil. The Russians were polluted by too much Asian/Mongolian blood. Jung thought his kind of analysis will get (Aryan) people in touch with their roots, still latent inside them, and restore their wholeness.” The Enigmatic Origins of the Jung Cult
"Jung's Sexism
Jung's thought is not only pervaded with notions hard to separate from racism but it has a marked sexist component. Although, according to Jung, the unconscious of the male contains the anima archetype and the unconscious of the female the animus archetype, far from providing a basis for overcoming traditional constricting gender roles, these archetypes are a threat: Jung thought it important to keep these opposite-gender principles in check.
McGowan cites the following statements from Jung's "Woman in Europe" (1928; 170-71: "a man should live as a man, and a woman as a woman." According to Jung, a woman who pursues "a masculine calling" introduces into any discussion "a whole host of argumentative biases which always go a little beside the point in the most irritating way, and which, furthermore, always inject a little something into the problem that is not really there ... which can even grow into downright daemonic passion that irritates and disgusts men...[and] smother the charm and meaning of femininity...Such a development naturally ends in a deep, psychological division, in short, a neurosis." (McGowan, p. 100)
In Alan Watts book Psychotherapy East and West he says how Jung (like Freud) --influenced by racist 19th century Anthropology--believed 'the unconscious' be be potentially healing but also very dangerous unless mediated by his methods. Partly this idea was this idea that primitive man was very savage, and connected with the primal swamps etc, and Alan finds a comparison with the German Jung brought up in a Protestant culture with the Christian fear of the 'Devil' that is always lying in wait to devour his victims. So for Jung the sudden influx of 'unconscious contents' was exceedingly dangerous.
I have this book called Dreaming With Open Eyes, about modernist and shamnism art. The author says how 'surprisingly' Jung did not like much modern art because it was to similar to the artwork of his 'patients'.
Chapter 3: The Feminist Critique of the Separated Self"“Keller's critique of Jungian psychology, in contrast, is considerably less generous. Although in Jung we find a psychology that is matrifocal in nature, as compared to Freud's patrifocal perspective, Jung's preoccupation with finding wholeness and achieving individuation also requires, Keller argues, a matricidal impulse.105”
“Referring to Jung's Symbols of Transformation, Keller indicates how Jung came to the conclusion that the achievement of psychological maturity requires the dismemberment of the mother, symbolized by dragons or serpents. This, she notes, is reminiscent of the foul deed performed by Marduk in the Enuma Elish. It is only through the slaughter of the "monster," known as woman, that the hero established the world. In psychological parlance, symbols of dragons and serpents refer to the unconscious. Thus the maturation of the warrior-identified self requires that ego-consciousness be freed from the grip of the "deadly" unconscious. "Deadly," writes Keller, "presumably because it prevents the emergence of conscious individuality."108”
I think with Jung you have to be careful. His ideas can be very attractive, but you need to be critical about them---thats what I try and do or they too can influence your unconscious, especially if they make you afraid of your 'own' depths!
