Hello everyone,
Chiang's whole career had been a struggle against the intervention in his well-ordered chain of events of that disturbing imperative which he called the mob.--- from "Red Star Over China" by Edgar Snow
What does "call" mean here?
Many many thanks.

call v. called, call·ing, calls v.tr. 9. To name: What will you call the baby? The Free Dictionary
You are called zhonglc2020
"That disturbing imperative" probably had some real name, but HE called it "the mob".
