not eaten by Ranny.
It was half past nine before
Peggy heard the low. familiar

under the windows and fairly
jumped into the driveway.

Psychology of Revolution

person as member Of the crowd loses
the faculty of criticism. And when
the orator makes motion and the
crowd applauds it, the intelligent per-
son is also caught by the whirl Of
applause, though in normal times his
attitude would have been of critical
nature.
In mass action the sense OF per-
sonal responsibility vanishes, and this
intensifying ones emotion, diminishes
the possibility of reflection, especially
when it concerns general action. The
sense of responsibility falls in proper
ton to the number of participants, for
every participant of the mob feels
that he is only a small part of the
whole, and therefore his responsibility
is very Insignificant. Another reason
for the low degree of reflection of the
individual in revolutionary action is
the diminution of personal interest
and attention, and also of the lack Of
observation. Such is the character
istic of the individual in the crowd.
The appeal to the intelligent person
to refrain from mass action is too
we'll evident, for to be an insignificant
participant in an act in which one
nearly loses personal identity, becom-
ing beast, is indeed of little attrac-
ton.
But is this evaluation of the indi-
vfdual behavior in mass action cor
rect? Let US stop for a moment on
this point. If the leader had no pres
tige in the eyes of the intelligent indi-
vidual before the latter joined the
crowd; If the individual were capable
of criticizing him before he joined the
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-04-24

crowd, then why should not he be
able to do it in the crowd also? How
does controversy in a gathering take
place; how division into opposing
groups occur? No, the revolutionary
mass is not the simpleton, the bour-
geois psychologist characterized it;
nor is the patriotic army as wise as
McDougal depicts it. True, the orator
must employ popular language ad-
dressing a motley crowd; but since
the ideas he expresses, or the meas
ures he proposes, are of a general ma
ture, the advanced and the backward
in the crowd are equally interested in
the same proposition, whatever Ian
guage may be used. Precision, clarity,
breVity are required then. To one
with critical training demagogy is de-
tected wherever it is. The mode of
public augmentation must be differ
ent from debating in small circle.
Since personal responsibility is di-
minished in mass activity, according
to Mr.. McDougal, why should emotion
which is called out only when danger
is imminent, or our innermost sym
pathy is enlisted-why should emotion
be present at all, unless one is inter-
ested in the thing? And does not emo
ton take place in personal affairs,
too, if the occasion calls for it?
Wherein lies the difference?
Can a person be suggestible when
he joins throng to which he is either
inimical, or Indifferent? While people
around him are excited, the stranger
is left cold or is annoyed or cynical.
Could the leader carry prestige with
him? Evidently-not. Well, that
means that one does not always forget
about his own convictions il he had
them beforehand. AS a rule when one
is in a crowd he INDUCES in an event
Of a general nature in which as a
social being he is interested, though
differently. In proportion to the inter-
est in the social affair one has taken
before he Joined the gathering, he
concentrates his attention on it; and
in each case, as the occasion requires,
on one particular thing. But once it is
q matter demonstrating ones atten-
ton upon a particular thing, the rest
must be in the fringe" of ones con-
seriousness, not in the center. If ones
mind is shut of to the rest of the
world while reading book, and atten-
ton is fixated on 1t, the book is no
less suggestive than the crowd orator.
The degree of suggestibility depends
upon the person. The authors pres
tige has the same effect as the orators.
OF course, while reading a book, &C
ton is impossible; the readers emo
ton is then fruitless. Prestige in
mass action depends upon the pre-
vious amount of knowledge, expe-
rience or interest, the individual pos
