Barbara Belger, Asha Andersen and Educationalist Dr. Ursula Edgington get together for a conversation about Mass Formation, the phenomenon that gives way to Totalitarianism.
What is Mass Formation? Why and how does it happen?

He also warned that mass formation gives rise to totalitarianism, which is the topic of his new book, “The Psychology of Totalitarianism.”“
