An Ideology to me, Tristan Flinn, is your beliefs in how you think society would work best, not always political, Sometimes it is just about how you think things would benefit more from. For example an idea of an ideology in someone’s personal life could be like when Uncle Ben tells Peter, “With Great power, comes great responsibility” , This is an idea peter dedicates his life to as spiderman, he always puts the safety of others before his own, even if it means his own happiness. An Ideology is something you believe in, something you base your life and understanding of things around. It is how you learn to understand the universe, Government, issues within your own life. An Ideology that builds who you are is how we are all so unique and the same at the same time.
Conservatives and Liberals are relatively different in terms of beliefs. For example the main argument/difference in beliefs between the two have to deal with the Government. Liberals want a more involved Government cause they think inclusion with the people will help everyone from not having mistrust in the government. While Conservatives want a less involved government because that would mean less money being used to improve a lot of things, which also means less money on taxes. I would say that’s the biggest difference. So I would say your belief in how you want the government to interact with the public is a main tie breaker in deciding what your ideology title is.
This video described ideology very differently, in a very dark way, but also pretty realistic. Not too much comedy added to it. Athusser touches on the idea of ideology at a way deeper sense then the video before hand ( no offense to makers). The idea that our lives are shaped by ideologies made by people and passed on, the idea of being judged in a society if you disagree is very important. You can trace back ideologies to a lot of bad moments in time, like fascists.

Hi Tristan. So, what do you mean in Q3: how do you specifically understand ideology according to Althusser, what makes it “dark” and associated with fascism? Try to be more specific in such responses….
