It is not only our reality that enslaves us
We experience ideology when we escape reality into our dreams
We are subjects of pleasures, realize your true potential
When you put the glasses on you see dictatorship in democracy
Ideology is something that is in our way distorting our view
Take off the glasses and see things the way really are
It hurts to step out of ideology
People are aware of the lie of ideology and that putting on the glasses will make people realize the lie
“You must be forced to be free” If you trust your spontaneous sense or whatever you will never get free.
“An ideology is political system of thought. Where science can't reach, you need a set of assumptions of how the world works, and that is an ideology. (Do not trust people who say they have no ideology, they are out for you in some way.)”
Ideology, a form of social or political philosophy in which practical elements are as prominent as theoretical ones. It is a system of ideas that aspires both to explain the world and to change it.
Science of ideas
ideology has been from its inception a word with a marked emotive content
ideology may mean any kind of action-oriented theory or any attempt to approach politics in the light of a system of ideas. Ideology in the stricter sense stays fairly close to Destutt de Tracy’s original conception and may be identified by five characteristics: (1) it contains an explanatory theory of a more or less comprehensive kind about human experience and the external world; (2) it sets out a program, in generalized and abstract terms, of social and political organization; (3) it conceives the realization of this program as entailing a struggle; (4) it seeks not merely to persuade but to recruit loyal adherents, demanding what is sometimes called commitment; (5) it addresses a wide public but may tend to confer some special role of leadership on intellectuals. In this article the noun ideology is used only in its strict sense; the adjective ideological is used to refer to ideology as broadly defined.
