Individual ideology

when the idea to think beyond themselves, would not it logical? What if the policy itself is an ideology and its dissemination needs said pointedly brainwashed? Some rumors even of a post-ideological era, because the known Orientation patterns are there. Does this trend then the social as an ideology, an ideology of solidarity and the political in excess of the selfishness?

Of course, here the term 'ideology' - probably as misunderstood reimport this old German concept of education - first of its negative connotation free: An ideology is not an aberration, not irrationality, not a blind following a sectarian cult with crude assumptions. The ideology is a perfect idea of this world and the derived logic for thinking and acting. In his previous role was the Enlightenment ideology of a progressive thinking, no base for deadlock blame or somewhat conservative. That the term now in common usage for something rigid, absolute, backward-looking as we owe to the defamation of the 60s: a derogatory term for all battle fronts.

The ideology is therefore to be something political, since it is based on the conviction of an idea that goes beyond the self also, because it contains the whole world as normative. But conversely, the political always an ideology? Here, opinions differ .. Is the harsh reality of this world is not a structure that is already inherent in the logic of a policy that one would ask. Are our political actions allegedly anything at all outside of the existing discourse of the possibilities of our actions in advance but defined and limited? Others would perhaps put the 'pragmatics' as an example, that political action can also be non-ideological.

I do not think that the political is logical: those who can afford it, will abstain from progressive ideology - Marx knew the way, always been that people first go together really dirty needs in order to change this world somehow fundamentally . Does the policy so indoctrinated in the luxury children's brains and snob imitators? And who would do this? I do not think that something like this can be institutionalized. There has probably contribute to each his part. Even our young people looking for meaning and ideas for this world. Let's show them that no one thought them decreases, and each must develop its own ideology.
