The Mob

Books are sometimes vexed by his arbitrary, inextricable conclusions, which would not have stood a chance of being published in modern times, or would soon have disappeared. However, the reason why this book can still be paid attention to one hundred years after its publication, and is respected by many sociologists as "the book with the greatest influence on social psychology", must have its unique characteristics. In my humble opinion, I should also attribute his strong ability to foresee the future. Weren't the two great wars of the twentieth century the result of induced, contagious and amplified group behavior? Look at our China after the liberation of that catastrophe, is not also a group of carnivals? Despite the lack of evidence in his argument, Le Pen presciently noted: "Leaders, who invent an ambiguous word, describe a grand picture, agitate groups... And these new things are just a new face of the old tyranny..." It is precisely because of the stability of the deepest unconscious motive of the group that all the seemingly beautiful revolutions of human beings are like repeated past -- look at China half a century ago, what is the difference between it and feudal society? Most of the feelings or to read the side to jump out. A final word of encouragement: keep your critical and skeptical spirit and never go with the flow.
