A man or woman makes a direct contact with society in
two ways: as a member of some familiar, professional or
religious group or as a member of a crowd. Groups are
capable of being as moral and intelligent as the individuals
who form them. A crowd that is chaotic has no purpose of its
own and is capable of anything except intelligent action and
realistic thinking. Assembled in a crowd, people lose their powers of reasoning and their capacity for moral choice.
Their suggestibility is increased to the point where they cease
to have any judgement or will of their own. They become
very excitable, and may lose all sense of individual or
collective responsibility. They are subject to sudden excesses
of rage, enthusiasm and panic. In a word, a man in a crowd
behaves as though he has swallowed a large dose of some
powerful intoxicant. He is a victim of what I have called ‘herd-
poisoning’. Herd-poison is an active, extravagant drug. The
crowd intoxicated individual escapes from responsibility,
intelligence and morality into a kind of franctic, animal
mindlessness. write a summary.
