when I recognize myself as the addressee of the call of the ideological big Other (Nation, Democracy, Party, God, and so forth),…I automatically misrecognize that it is this very act of recognition which makes me what I have recognized myself as-I don’t recognize myself in it because I’m its addressee, I become its addressee the moment I recognize myself in it. This is the reason why a letter always reaches its addressee; because one becomes its addressee when one is reached.
