when you get a narcissist that cannot tell themselves apart from an idea, pretty soon, it all boils down to this:

there is a truth, known to you because you possess superior virtue or intellect or vision that will make society better and serve the collective good.

you cannot convince others because they lack your vison and the more they push back, the more special you realize you must be.

so you coerce. if they cannot see, they must be shown. it is, after all, for their own good.

those who resist are reactionaries. they are fighting against the collective good that you are so sure that you can see. this makes them, wittingly or no, evil and thus you are just to vilify them and to wage war upon them.

and when things start to go bad, as all collectivist and authoritarian schemes to make the ant farm run as it should always do, you cannot blame the ideas without invalidating yourself and sense of identity, so you blame the victims.
