The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass
Movements
Sinopsis :
The True Believer is a classic study on the rise and spread of
mass movements along with a psychological profile of the
fanatics who drive these violent political and social upheavals.
Although the political landscape of 1951 is far different from
that of the present era, Eric Hoffer's book has nevertheless
provided us with remarkable descriptions that fit the kinds of
people who join various extremist mass movements today. It is
a terrifying portrait of the mind of the fanatic. All it takes to lure
people into mass movements is something to attract those with
a sense of personal failure. These misfits and outcasts are
offered the opportunity of joining a cause that allows them to
forget their own perceived defects. By joining a righteous
cause, the individual believes he has transcended his inferior
self. He disappears into the movement and takes on a new
identity. By destroying the past and present, the fanatic seeks

to build a future utopia that will make his former identity seem
trivial. It is a frightening prospect, and potential followers are
always at hand.
