"mass movements begin with a widespread "desire for change" from discontented people who place their locus of control outside their power and who also have no confidence in existing culture or traditions"
"The "New Poor" are the most likely source of converts for mass movements/for they recall their former wealth with resentment and blame others for their current misfortune"
"individual's goals or opinions are unimportant"
 "One identifies the most as “a member of a certain tribe or family," whether religious, political, revolutionary, or nationalist"
"While mass movements idealize the past and glorify the future, the present world is denigrated: By regarding the modern world as vile and worthless, mass movements inspire a perpetual battle against the present."
"Mass movements aggressively promote the use of doctrines that elevate faith over reason"

"Successful mass movements need not believe in a god, but they must believe in a devil. Hatred unifies the true believers"
