IDEOLOGIES TRANSFORM LATENT DESIRES INTO A COLLECTIVE WILL TO ACT
________________________________________________________

By being transformed into a societal discourse, energies and passions bound to shared fantasies are released for action. The ideology transforms latent desires into a collective will to act. The will to act is generated by the wish to actualize or bring into reality the fantasy contained within the ideology. The role of the leader is not only to bring into consciousness fantasies shared by members of society, but also to devise a plan—allowing these fantasies to be enacted.
