The people and the mob: The ideology of civil conflict in modern Europe

One of the many results of the French Revolution was that it decisively established the potential of the masses to have a radical effect on European politics. These new political actors were typically depicted in one of two opposite ways; as the virtuous people or as the wicked mob. However, these dichotomous depictions of the masses, have become complementary rather than exclusive terms in various political ideologies that developed in Europe after the Revolution. For example, the mob has often been defined as a marginal minority of the population and the people as the majority.
