Metaphors are the manner in which unconscious fantasy is revealed on the stage of social reality.
The German nation was a symbol of his own body. The disease within the body of the people was the disease within his own body, a projection of a psychosomatic symptom. Genocide was the killing off of his own psychosomatic disease, projected into Germany. Political reality is a social construction and builds upon the experience of the body projected into the world. Nationalism is a reflection of immunological fantasy, that is, the experience of internal objects within the mind.
