In this paper, Samir Gandesha revisited Adorno’s account of Freud’s social psychology as way of understanding the mechanisms of idealization of, and identification with, “great little men”, by which “people become a mass”. Gandesha concluded with some thoughts about how Adorno helps us to understand the appeal of authoritarian populists in our own age.
