I'd like to flip over your notion of the ontology of a people; not so much centering on a fascist leader, which I think you came to in your notion of the daimon, but on history, as the unfolding of the divine (per Hegel) or the necessary measure of Being (per Heidegger). For that matter, the notion of the daimon, as a projection of the Self in a phenomenal manner, also presents for us, those heroes that make history (Moses, Noah, et al); carrying the telos of their time and generation.
