Mass party membership sheltered individuals from modernization’s private loneliness

Evidence

For Pasolini and Eribon, the party offered a refuge from a latent loneliness omnipresent in modernity, a haven from the horrors of a “purely private life.” — Anton Jäger, Hyperpolitics, 123

Categorization

• QUESTION: Wait — the claim that party cured a ‘latent loneliness omnipresent in modernity’ is itself a Romantic construction from within the mass-party era; is an un-partied private life actually worse? This is precisely the nostalgia the reader should interrogate when judging the accuracy of the periodization.
