Ideology

Ideology is a collection of ideas, norms, beliefs, and values intentionally designed by Agents of Consciousness to shape human behaviour and cognition in ways not conducive to health and full connection, but instead conducive to the economic, political, and social interests of the Accumulating Class.[1][2] Ideology maintains the status quo by masking the exploitative nature of the Regime of Accumulation and the social class relations inherent.[3] Ideology is a key element of the Indoctrination that occurs as a consequence of this planet's colonially derived Toxic Socialization process. Ideology is a sub-category of Wrong Thought.

Notes

"ideology... is endowed with a structure and functioning such as to make it a nonhistorical -"[4]

"Ideology represents individuals' imaginary relation to their real conditions of existence."[5]

Ideology is inserted into your brain by Agents of Consciousness in a process of repetition and reinforcement known as indoctrination. Ideology and indoctrination are components of Toxic Socialization. Ideology makes it harder to Heal and Connect.[6]

Ideology is often obscured with EPMO

An ideology is a set of beliefs and doctrines that an individual or group hold for "other than purely epistemic reasons."[7] Ideologies form the basis of a political, economic, or social systems.

Ideologies operate by providing excuses and justification that a) quell the doubt and assuage the guilt of the abusers/exploiters and b) encourage docility, compliance, and silent acceptance by the victims/exploited.

There are four broad categories of ideology in use on this planet. These are:

* Gender Ideology - Ideology that provides justification for gender-based exploitation of women
* Race Ideology - Ideology that provides justification for racially-based exploitation of humans.
* Social Class Ideology - Ideology that provides justification for socially based exploitation.
* Spiritual Ideology - Ideology that provides justification for spiritual exploitation.

Ideologies typically have both a "scientific" expression and a "religious" expression. The religious expression of gender ideology is present in stories and monologues that suggest, for example, that women are weak temptresses. The scientific expression of gender ideology is expressed in notions of genetically/naturally based differences, with men being considered stronger/more evolved, and women being seeing as weaker/less advanced.

Althuser

Ideology is " the system of the ideas and representations which dominate the mind of a man or a social group."[8]

Loius Althuser notes that ideology facilitates the reproduction of the labour force. See Mechanisms of Reproduction

No general theory of ideology is possible, because all ideologies are located within specific regimes are are thus determined by them "It will then be clear that a theory of ideologies depends in the last resort on the history of social formations, and thus of the modes of production combined in social formations, and of the class struggles which develop in them. In this sense it is clear that there can be no question of a theory of ideologies in general, since ideologies (defined in the double respect suggested above: regional and class) have a history, whose determination in the last instance is clearly situated outside ideologies alone, although it involves them."[8]==Citation and Legal== Treat the SpiritWiki as an open-access online monograph or structured textbook.
