We are threatened today by a new form of totalitarism. It degrades people without tormenting them, it doesn’t break wills, but weakens them, it doesn’t tyrannise, it bothers, it extinguishes. In this world subjected to ultra-individualism, to the diktats of economic and commercial logic, some people haven’t renounced their desire to change society, to invent new collective prictices, to live out their ideals.
