概要
Who joins mass movements? Not the successful, not the satisfied, not those with a stake in the present. The true believer is someone who has lost faith in themselves.
In this episode, we explore Eric Hoffer's study of fanaticism, written by a longshoreman who watched the rise of fascism and communism with equal alarm. Hoffer argues that the content of a movement matters less than its form. What unites true believers isn't ideology but psychology.
The frustrated self seeks escape from itself. Mass movements offer that escape through total identification with a cause. The doctrine is almost irrelevant.
It's an uncomfortable book. It doesn't let anyone off the hook: not the left, not the right, not the religious, not the secular.
