Merriam WebsterDictionary defines an idea as "a formulated thought oropinion;" a tactic as "a device for accomplishing anend;" and a strategy as "a careful plan or method." Inthis way, we can see that an idea can very easilyengender a solution to a certain problem; this solutionwould require a strategy, which would in turn compriseof various implementable tactics. In sum, the idea is theprime mover, the strategy is the plan, and the tactics arethe ideological tools.
