Ruling Ideology

Ruling ideology, as conceptualized by Louis Althusser, refers to the master system of ideas and representations that dominate the consciousness of individuals, serving the interests of the Accumulating Class while masking and legitimizing the inequalities and exploitative structures underpinning the socio-economic system. The Ruling Ideology is what ties all the ideologies that exist in the various Ideological State Apparatuses. [1] [2]

Notes

"the ruling ideology...is the ideology of 'the ruling class'. [3]

"While discussing the Ideological State Apparatuses and their practices, I said that each of them was the realization of an ideology (the unity of these different regional ideologies– religious, ethical, legal, political, aesthetic, etc. – being assured by their subjection to the ruling ideology)."[4]
