- A Repressive State Apparatus is a social function, dedicated to a power dynamic, “Which one is the “Correct” Social function” one where you will be praised and one where you won’t be. Repressive would be correct, because one eventually dominates the other and then you belittle and slam down others that don’t think the same as you or act the same way.

Althusser seems to think Ideological state apparatuses works the opposite as Repressive, it is less “violent” and more of a political debate/ belief then kind of shoving someone to act a certain way. Or shaming them for not acting the same way you do, sometimes even physically forcing them to.

The Two are different because one is very socially toxic, not solely based just on political agenda, based on how someone acts in socials. While the other one has to do with the idea of people having different ideologies on governments and the way the world should be.

This is an example of an Ideological apparatus, I chose a art piece to represent it… It shows different examples of certain ideologies throughout history. Some clearly being worse then other ideologies.
