Understanding “ideology”

Core themes of different ideologies






The political spectrum






Political Ideologies (Arguelles,

2014)

Слайд 3WHAT IS “IDEOLOGY”?

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 4ISM’s!
We are basically going to be looking at many of the

words ending in –ism, such as liberalism, conservatism, socialism, communism, religious fundamentalism, feminism, totalitarianism etc.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 5What is ideology?
There really is no clear and agreed
upon

definition of ideology. It is a
difficult term to really define
properly- an essentially contested
concept.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 6Origin of the term
The term was created during the French

Revolution by Antoine Destutt de Tracy (1754-1836), and first used in public in 1796
For de Tracy, idéologie referred to a new ‘science of ideas’, or an idea-ology, like in biology, or psychology.


Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 7Origin of the term
“The ideas of the ruling class are in

every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time the ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it”
Marx and Engels, The German Ideology

The use of ideology as a political term has a lot to do with the work of Karl Marx (1818-1883)

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 8Origin of the term
The defining feature of ideology in the Marxist

sense is that it is false: it mystifies and confuses subordinate classes by concealing from the contradictions upon which all class societies are based.

Nevertheless, Marx did not believe that all political views had an ideological character. He held that his own work, which attempted to uncover the process of class exploitation and oppression, was scientific.
In his view, a clear distinction could be drawn between science and ideology, truth and falsehood.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 9Redefining political ideology
The emergence of totalitarian dictatorships in the interwar period

encouraged writers such as Karl Popper, JL Talmon and Hannah Arendt to view ideology as an instrument of social control to ensure compliance and sub-ordination.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 10Redefining political ideology
A distinctively use of the term ideology has been

developed by thinkers such as Michael Oakeshott.

This view reflects a characteristically conservative skepticism about the value of rationalism that is born out of the belief that the world is largely beyond the capacity of the human mind to fathom.
From this perspective, ideologies are seen as abstract systems of thought: that is, as sets of ideas that distort political reality because they claim to explain what is, frankly, incomprehensible.


Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)



Слайд 11Social-scientific definition of ideology:
An ideology is a more or less coherent

set of ideas that provides the basis for organised political action, whether this is intended to preserve, modify or overthrow the existing system of power. All ideologies therefore have the following features:

They offer an account of the existing order, usually in the form of a ‘world view’
They advance a model of a desired future, a vision of the ‘good society’
They explain how political change can and should be brought about – how to get from (a) to (b)

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 12Take note!
Ideology influences all of our lives, but it works in

such a way that we are often unaware of its influence- like the air we breathe!

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 13Think of ideology as a pair of goggles!
Whichever pair of goggles

you put on, changes the way which you see the world. It allows you to interpret the world and to make decisions! Now you must work out, which ideology has already influenced your way of thinking and looking at the world!

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 14LIBERALISM
Core themes
Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 15This ideology is in a sense the ideology of the ‘industrialised

West’

It has a focus on a particular set of values: the individual, freedom, reason, justice, toleration.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 16Origin of Liberalism
Liberalism was the product of the breakdown of feudalism

and the growth, in its place, of a market or capitalist society.
Early liberalism certainly reflected the aspirations of a rising industrial middle class, and liberalism and capitalism have been closely linked ever since.

It attacked absolutism and feudal privilege, advocating constitutional and later, representative government.
A distinctively economic creed had developed that extolled the virtues of laissez-faire capitalism and condemned all forms of government intervention.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 17Liberalism: The Individual
Liberalism emphasises the importance of the individual, both the

uniqueness of each individual and at the same time the equality of all individuals.
However, as individuals do not possess the same levels of talent or willingness to work, liberals do NOT endorse social equality.


Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 18Liberalism: The Individual
Thus, liberalism emphasises a commitment to individual freedom. This

does not mean though, that an individual is free to do whatever they like. There are still constraints on what you are actually allowed to do, one constraint being that you are not allowed to hurt another individual.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 19Liberalism: Faith in reason
Having faith in reason, or the ability to

use one’s intellect in taking action in the world, is also a central component. Individuals are considered the best judges of their own interests.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 20Liberalism: Justice and tolerance
Liberals look at justice in that each

person should be given what they are ‘due.’
Because individual rights are central, this means that liberalism believes in tolerance and pluralism, or the idea that different moral, cultural and political cultures can exist together.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 21Liberalism: Constitutionalism
Although liberals see government as a vital guarantee of

order and stability in society, they are constantly aware od the danger that government may become a tyranny against the individual.
They therefore believe in limited government.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 22Classical Liberalism
A commitment to an extreme form of individualism. Human beings

are see as egoistical, self-seeking and largely self-reliant creatures.
This atomist view of society is underpinned by a belief in negative liberty, meaning non-interference, or the absence of external constraints upon the individual.
The state is a necessary evil- necessary because it establishes order and security but an evil because it imposes a collective will upon society, thus limiting the freedom of the individual.

Modern Liberalism

The shift was born out of the recognition that industrial capitalism had merely generated new forms of injustice and left the mass of the population subject to the vagaries of the market.
This view provided the basis for social welfare or welfare liberalism.
Characterized by the recognition that state intervention, particularly state welfare, can enlarge liberty by safeguarding individuals from the social evils that blight individual existence.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 23Where can I see evidence of liberalism today?
Everywhere! Have a look

around, and you will see that the ideas of liberalism are central to our lives. What examples of liberalism can you find just by looking at your self, school, church or family?

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 24CONSERVATISM
Core themes
Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 25In trying to resist the pressures unleashed by the growth of

liberalism, socialism and nationalism, conservatism stood in defence of an increasingly embattled traditional social order.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)


Слайд 26Conservatism: Core themes
Central beliefs of conservatism are based around the ideas

of:
tradition
human imperfection
organic society
hierarchy and authority
property

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 27Conservatism: Tradition
Conservatives argue for the preservation of ‘tradition’, in particular

with regards to values, practices and institutions
They see tradition as being one of the foundations of society; without it, they believe society would crumble.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 28Conservatism: Humans are imperfect
Conservatives argue that human beings are imperfect and

not perfectible, thus they will need stability and security in their lives, which the government can provide.
In this view, human beings are limited, dependent and security-seeking creatures.
In addition, individuals are morally corrupt: they are tainted by selfishness, greed and thirst for power.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 29Conservatism: Organic society
Conservatives believe that human beings cannot exist outside of

society, or the social groups that nurture him/her, such as family, friends, colleagues, local community, and the nation.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 30Conservatism: Hierarchy and authority
Believe that society is hierarchical, and that authority

develops naturally.
Gradations of social position and status are natural and inevitable.
A person’s station in life is determined largely by luck and the accident of birth.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 31Conservatism: Property
Conservatives have a firm belief in the importance of

owning property, and encourage private savings and investment in property; property is seen to be a way of creating a stable world.
People are less likely to damage someone else’s property if they also own property.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 32Paternalistic Conservatism
In this view, duty is the price of privilege: the

powerful and propertied inherit a responsibility to look after the less well-off in the broader interests of social cohesion and unity.

New Right

Support of the goal of a strong but minimal state: the free economy and the strong state.
The principal neoliberal goal is to “roll back the frontiers of the state,” in the belief that unregulated market capitalism will deliver efficiency, growth and widespread prosperity.
The New Right wishes, above all, to restore authority and return to traditional values, notably those linked to the family, religion and the nation.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 33Liberalism vs. Conservatism
Can you identify specific policy differences between liberalism and

conservatism?

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 34SOCIALISM
Core themes
Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 35Socialism developed as a reaction against the emergence of industrial capitalism.
Political

Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 36Core Themes
Community
Cooperation
Equality
Class politics
Common ownership

Political Ideologies (Arguelles,

2014)

Слайд 37Community
Human beings are tied to one another by the bonds

of a common humanity.
‘We are all brothers and sisters.’
Emphasis on nurture over nature, explaining individual behaviour mainly in terms of social factor than innate qualities.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 38View on human nature
Belief in the plasticity of human nature,

or that humans can change and be moulded by life experience.
Firm belief that humans are not predestined, but have the capacity to become something greater than what they are.


Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 39Cooperation not competition
Socialists believe that the natural relationship among humans is

one of cooperation rather than competition.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 40Equality
Socialists are committed to equality.
They believe that a measure of social

equality is the essential guarantee of social stability and cohesion, encouraging individuals to identify with
their fellow human beings.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 41Social Class
Emphasis is on social class as the determining factor of

society.

What do you notice about the boys in this picture?

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 42Common ownership
Disagree with the idea of private property, as they

see this as one of the causes of competition and therefore social inequality.
Thus, have a view that all property should be communal
‘From each according to his ability, to each according to his need’ – Karl Marx

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 43Socialism vs. Communism
These two ideologies are often confused with

one another.
Communism is thought to be a classless society, where there is no hierarchy or authority. It has been argued by Marxists to be the end point of human development.
Socialism is seen to be a middle point between capitalism and communism, where the state attempts to re-direct society towards its communist ideal.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 44Revolutionary socialism VS Social democracy
In its original form, socialism is revolutionary

in character. Its goal was to abolish a capitalist economy based on market exchange, and replace it with a qualitatively different socialist society, usually to be constructed on the principle of common ownership.

However, a reformist socialist tradition emerged that reflected the gradual integration of the working classes into capitalist society through an improvement in working conditions and wages and the growth of trade unions and socialist political parties.
This brand of socialism proclaimed the possibility of a peaceful, gradual and legal transition to socialism, brought about the adoption of the parliamentary road.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 45Revolutionary socialism VS Social democracy
Revolutionary socialists, following the example of Lenin

and the Bolsheviks, called themselves communists, while reformists socialist, who practiced a form of constitutional politics, embraced what increasingly came to be called social democracy.

This rivalry focused not only on the most appropriate means of achieving socialism, but also on the nature of the socialist goal itself.
Social democrats turned their back on the revolutionary principles such as common ownership and planning, and recast socialism in terms of welfare and economic management.

Слайд 46Pause: Comparing the three we have looked at so far
Political Ideologies

(Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 47FASCISM
Core themes
Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 48Origin
Whilst liberalism, conservatism and socialism are ideas that have their roots

in the 19th Century, fascism was born in the period between the first world wars, and emerged most dramatically in Italy and Germany.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 49Italian Fascism
Benito Mussolini and his Fascist Party came to power in

Italy in the 1920s and lasted until the second World War, upon which he was executed by the Italian partisans and hung by his feet in a square in Milano.
Statism

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 50German Fascism
Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party came to power in

the 1930s and lasted until the Second World War, until the defeat of Germany by the Allies.
Aryanism

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 51Features of fascism
It is a difficult ideology to define, but some

of its common themes include:
A reaction against rationalism, or the use of reason to make sense of the world.
A belief that life is struggle, and that the strongest survive (influenced by Darwin’s idea of natural selection).
Does not believe in equality; instead believes in elitism, or that some people are born leaders.
An extreme embrace of nationalism; incorporating a belief that certain nations are superior to others.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 52Features of fascism
Fascism has an anti-character. It is defined largely by

what is opposes: it is a form of anti-capitalism, anti-liberalism, anti-individualism, anti-communism, and so on.


Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 53ANARCHISM
Core themes
Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 54Anarchism
Two rival camps: individualist anarchists and collectivists anarchists.
Individual anarchists believed that

free and rational human beings would be able to manage their affairs peacefully and spontaneously, government being merely a form of unwanted coercion.
Collectivist anarchists stress the human capacity for social solidarity that arises from our sociable, gregarious and essentially cooperative natures.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 55RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM
Core themes
Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 56Religious Fundamentalism
Rejects the distinction between politics and religion; for fundamentalists, ‘politics

is religion’ (Khomeini, leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979).

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 57Religious Fundamentalism
Maintains a commitment to ideas and values that are

seen as basic or fundamental.
Most often turns its back on modernity, or the modern world we live in. Modernity is seen to be the root of decay in our world, where values are lacking and moral social fabric has disintegrated.
Very often it is a militaristic ideology, and the use of violence to achieve its aims is common.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 58ENVIRONMENTALISM

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 59Environmentalism
A belief that nature is the most important focus of social

organisation.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 60FEMINISM

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 61Feminism
Important ideology that changed the focus of ideology from looking at

the public to the private sphere. That is, rather than looking at the politics of the state level, they started to look at the politics of the individual. Key to this was looking at the power relationship that exists between men and women.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 62Feminism
Use of the concept of ‘patriarchy’ to describe the power

relationship between men and women.
Made a distinction between the idea of ‘sex’ and ‘gender’: sex is a biological term defined by birth, whereas gender is a cultural term which incorporates learning how to be female or male.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 63THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 64The Political Spectrum
You may have heard at various times terms

used like ‘political left’ and ‘political right.’
This is quite a confusing and misleading area in understanding political science.
The origin of the terms dates back to the French Revolution and the seating arrangements adopted by different groups in parliament.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 65The Political Spectrum
Traditionally, the political spectrum looked like this:
Political Ideologies (Arguelles,

2014)

Слайд 66Meanings of ‘left’ and ‘right’
LEFT
A broad ideological disposition that is characterised

by sympathy for principles such as liberty, equality, fraternity and progress. It is also associated with preference for equality and common ownership.

RIGHT

A broad ideological disposition that is characterised by sympathy for principles such as authority, order, hierarchy and duty

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 67Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 68Other models of the spectrum
This linear version of left and right,

however, is a simplistic division. Over the years, other models have come to expand the idea of a political spectrum into a second dimension. The below horseshoe example became quite popular in the 1950s and 1960s.

Political Ideologies (Arguelles, 2014)

Слайд 69The Political Compass
The below diagram is of a very interesting way

to describe the political spectrum and one which takes into account both economic and social factors.
