Ideology in everyday life matters more than formalized class-specific ideology

Evidence

The dismissal of culture, that is, a transmitted historical consciousness, as an aspect of class consciousness, did not equip the Marxian movement for the political forces that would not only erupt in Europe and the Third World but within the movement itself. — Cedric J. Robinson, Black Marxism_ The Making of the Black…, 363 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

Both also maintain that “ideology” is not a simple form of false consciousness, to be explained as a set of myths or simple false constructions in the head. All societies require specific ideologies, which provide those systems of meaning, concepts, categories, and representations which make sense of the world, and through which men come to “live” (albeit unconsciously, and through a series of “misrecognitions”), in an imaginary way, their relation to the real, material conditions of their existence (which are only representable to them, as modes of consciousness, in and through ideology). — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 628 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
