Стадное чувство армии демократов.


Explanation:
Не знаю, как еще назвать то, что крутится в голове. Если mob – бездумная, агрессивная толпа, то «стадное чувство» - первое, что приходит на ум при переводе mob-spirit.

neutral  Olga B: Стадное чувство is fine, but democratic army is not the army of democrats (what about democratic society? I mean it's an ajective and a noun and not a noun phrase)

  -> Maybe you are right, I wasn't sure about this part. But I don't think that this is what the asker is really seeking. I guess he must know it himself from more context. The question is rather about "mob-spirit".
