Modes of determination allow ideological superstructures more than a residual role

Evidence

Marx however insisted, not merely that men live their relations to their real conditions of existence “in ideology,” but that, in the capitalist mode of production, they will “think” those conditions, in general, within the limits of a dominant ideology; and that, generally, this will tend to be the ideology of the dominant classes . The fact that the proletariat “lives” the collective socialization of labor, under capitalism, through the fragmenting form of the market , and thinks this condition of its material life within the discourses which organize market practices ideologically (or that, under capitalism the proletariat “lives” the expropriation of surplus value in the “ideological form” of wages —a form giving rise to its own ideological discourses: wage bargaining, economism, what Lenin called “trade-union consciousness,” “a fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work,” etc.) is not, for Marx, simply a descriptive feature of capitalism. These ideological inflections perform a pivotal role in the maintenance of capitalist relations and in their continuing domination within the social formation. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 903 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
