Summary

This quote highlights the lack of collective faith in post-World War II Europe, which was divided into two blocks - one dominated by capitalism and the other by a bureaucratic system. The author suggests that both blocks were in need of a revolution to address the prevailing abuses, injustices, and privileged positions within society. The absence of collective faith implies a lack of shared belief or trust in the current systems and signifies a call for change and a desire for a more equitable and just society.
