Re: AUT: RE: councilism, ideology

Hi People
In medieval time, there were heated polemics about
the number of angels that can dwell simultaneously
on the head of a needle.

People with good intentions but superficial knowledge - if at all,
about the processes in the head of people, which create
the conscious, the believes, the opinions, the ideologies
print(ed) lot of erroneous texts.

Ideology is of course a word that every one can intend it to carry
what meaning one wants - as Alice ? said in the kingdom of mirrors.

However, it more commonly mean a system of believes and opinions
with lot of "rationalizations", used by individuals and sections
of society. As long as we have capitalist class society we will always
have lot of ideologies - with different level of distortion of the
basic facts of human life.

The more the ideology is used to convince people to accept the
reality of class society, the more it is far from the real facts of life.

So we have modern capitalist world order that differ from that
of previous times. So we see how the efforts to convince the
exploited and estranged people to accept that order, are
using new technology and new "ideological" claims.

It is pity how so good people continue to group in the dark
of eyes not open. It seems they have swallowed enough of
the common ideologies to prevent them to make use of
findings about the processes and dynamics creating the
believes, opinions, and ideologies.
