NOTE

Scapegoating in Ideological Thinking

In an ideological mindset, individuals may resort to scapegoating when their plans or ideas do not yield desired results. This mindset involves a belief that one's ideas are flawless, leading to the assumption that any failure must be due to sabotage by others. This scapegoating can lead to a refusal to self-reflect or adjust plans, as individuals believe their ideas are superior to reality. The concept is exemplified by a belief that as the revolution progresses, it becomes necessary to be more brutal to weed out hidden opposition, with the excuse that only subtle 'snakes' remain causing hindrances.
