I think both are quite reconcilable, actually, egoistic impulse and collective impulse, as even collective feelings can manifest themselves in different ways in individuals. crowds are capable of committing atrocities that the individual alone would not be capable of. it's the difference between the quantum leap that takes place in a football stadium and the one that takes place between the four walls of a room on a shrooms trip. furthermore, I think it’s really far from being socialist indeed. It seems that socialism has already been co-opted by those in power, see Lenin's bust in Klaus Schwab's office, while today's populist masses are leaning more to the right, or rather, to an organic and non-partisan self-organization.
