Mass politics combined high socialization with high politicization

Evidence

Taken together, the political forms canvased in this book—mass politics, postpolitics, antipolitics, hyperpolitics—may be visualized on a Cartesian plane structured by two axes: a politicization axis, measuring degrees of mobilization, and a social axis, measuring degrees of civic affiliation and membership. … Mass politics, in this schema, belongs to a world in which society is both highly socialized and politicized, populated by movements with clearly identifiable social bases and ideologies. — Anton Jäger, Hyperpolitics, 44
