Ideology was not dead in the 1960s but relocated to European theorists.

Evidence

The interdisciplinary researchers in this political attitudes, second era were not doctrinaire about their own theoretical explanations, nor did they impute highly organized thought systems to the public (Converse, 1964), as befits an “end-of-ideology” era (Namier, 1955; Mills, 1959; Bell, 1960), even if it now appears that ideology was not dead but hiding out in Paris and Frankfurt (Skinner, 1985). — John T. Jost and Jim Sidanius, Political Psychology, 359
