Shared Delusions and Politics
Cormagh
Freud wrote, "all religions are shared delusions." Since political
parties have "beliefs" similar to those in religion, to what extent
are political platforms and positions shared delusions? If not, when
can we tell if an ideology has delusional status, or is it just a
matter of opinion?
Cormagh
Here is the full quotation:
"A special importance attaches to the case in which this attempt to
procure a certainty of happiness and a protection against suffering
through a delusional remoulding of reality is made by a considerable
number of people in common. The religions of mankind must be classed
among the mass-delusions of this kind. No one, needless to say, who
shares a delusion ever recognizes it as such."
