Talk:Systematic Ideology

I have recently finished a book by Michael Rosen titled On Voluntary Servitude---False Consciousness and the Theory of Ideology.

From there I ended up reading about Methodical Individualism which seems to be about the relationship between the individual and the collective sh/e is part of.

In my experience the collective tends to want to control/manage the individual. For example the emphasis tends to be on "duties" before "rights".

This tentative conclusion comes from many discussions about Unconditional Basic Income (UBI, aka. Universal BI) as a replacement for the bureaucratic targeted welfare provision system.

"Ideology" as essentialy false consciousness?

In Theodor Adorno's phrase, "ideology is neessary false consciousness"

"In what sense is ideological consciousness "necessary'? In what sense 'false'?" (Michael Rosen)
