Hugmyndafræði for dummies


"In fact, the majority of people have a fairly sharp eye to
their own rights and interests, and most people feel uncomfortable at the
thought of belonging to a seriously unjust form of life. Either, then, they
must believe that these injustices are en route to being amended, or that they
are counterbalanced by greater benefits, or that they are inevitable, or that
they are not really injustices at all. It is part of the function of a dominant
ideology to inculcate such beliefs. It can do this either by falsifying social
reality, suppressing and excluding certain unwelcome features of it, or
suggesting that these features cannot be avoided."
