Some people are so powerless they will believe in some way that a idea will save them and people like them. They're powerless, or believe they are, to change the world around them and dream of something that will change every thing for the better for them.

This is obvious in Cults from belief in a god will save them after they die or during their life, which is very rare, or change the world for the better. This is the reason people believe in Allah, Jesus, Buddah etc and even Communism or the extreme who believe in the EU will make their lives better.

Some believe the world will be so much better when robots take over and supply everything for free. That's because they can't get those things themselves. Which is the common denominator of cultist. The only people who get what they want are the ones who get it for themselves and don't wait for others to deliver it.
