DB 3.1

I understand as a Ideology a series of practices, beliefs, and theories that unites a group of people on a single stand, such a political party, a syndicate, etc

the difference between Conservative and Liberals can be seen and understood mainly in social and economic matters. liberals tend to be more open to minorities and tend to depend on social welfare and justice while conservatives tend to believe in free market, lesser activity and control from the state and they are likely to be more closed towards multiculturalism and minorities and more nationalistic

Althusser’s definition of ideology made me rethink my previous thoughts to the point of questioning at what point I believe what I believe, Nevertheless I think it is a very rational statement and sadly it show us how social apparatus takes control over the masses keeping them blind and manipulated
