"Society is now posited, by each individual, as a mere ‘constraint’ imposed on the individual — a monstrous illusion, but one lived so vividly that it is becoming a material, tangible fact, the indicator of a process of desocialization — and yet, simultaneously and contradictorily, it is to this society, illusorily lived today as an external ‘constraint’, that the individual also addresses uninterrupted demands for assistance."
The grumpiness of Cornelius Castoriadis (May 1989).
