In this short dissertation, the author makes an attempt to answer the question of the usefulness of psychoanalysis in the field of a political practice, beginning with Freudian analysis of group psychology and Lacanian concept of paranoia. The central point, around which interpretation revolves, is the moment of the flag collapse described in Henryk Sienkiewicz’s novel. It is possible to reveal what is called psychotic crisis and the nature of social order based on the concept of empty meaning, thanks to the precision of the plot. In this context, psychoanalysis eliminates its instrumental use in all possible political practices. Since, it’s impossible to support a project which, as a project itself, is a source of all problems.
