Quote by: Winter wind View Post
"a political ideology is a certain ethical set of ideals,
principles, doctrines, myths or symbols of a social movement, institution,
class, or large group that explains how society should work,
and offers some political and cultural blueprint for a certain
social order."
Capitalism is part of such a blueprint. Hitler put symbols such as the swastika and religious sayings on military gear. We put dollar signs, crosses and American flags everywhere. And capitalists do promise a social order, only through social status.

Political language ... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
