"What are we facing today? A mass of individuals who are anything but liquid: they are gaseous! Individuals who, with the disappearance of all forms of social, union, corporate, and political aggregation, find themselves alone. This is what is new. This is what creates the social base for the Trumps, the Le Pens, the Salvinis, and the Grillos. At the root of it all is not only the impoverishment and downgrading of the middle class: there is also mass individualization."
