The importance of an Ideology !!!
An #ideology is a philosophy of ideas and lofty ideals, especially one that forms the basis of economic, political theory & social justice policy. Ideologies are often based on shared values and beliefs, and they can be used to justify or explain a wide range of political, economic, and social justice phenomena. A strong ideology is what prevents personality cults from taking over and corrupting ideologies and organisations.
There are many different ideologies, and they can vary widely in terms of their specific beliefs and goals. Some of the most common ideologies include:
Liberalism is an ideology that emphasises individual freedom and equality. Liberals believe that the government should play a limited role in people's lives, and they support free markets and free trade.
Conservatism is an ideology that emphasises tradition and order. Conservatives believe that the government should play a strong role in maintaining social order, and they often support traditional values such as family, religion, and patriotism.
Socialism is an ideology that emphasises economic equality and social justice. Socialists believe that the means of production should be owned by the people, and they support government intervention in the economy to achieve social and economic equality.
Communism is a type of socialism that advocates for a classless society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the community as a whole. Communists believe that the state should eventually wither away, leaving a society in which everyone is equal.

Ideologies play an important role in shaping political & social life. They provide a framework for understanding the world & they can motivate people to take action to achieve their goals. However, it is important to remember that ideologies are not always accurate or realistic & they can sometimes be used to justify harmful or oppressive policies.
Key characteristics of ideologies:
· Systematic: Ideologies are not just a collection of random ideas. They are a system of ideas that are interrelated and that form a coherent whole.
· Normative: Ideologies not only describe the world, but they also prescribe how the world should be. They offer a vision of a better future, and they provide a roadmap for how to achieve that future.
· Prescriptive: Ideologies are not just descriptive or normative. They are also prescriptive. They tell people what they should believe and how they should behave.
· Comprehensive: Ideologies attempt to explain all aspects of human life, including politics, economics, social relations, and culture.
· Pervasive: Ideologies are not just limited to the political realm. They can also be found in the religious, educational, and cultural spheres.
Ideologies can be a powerful force for change. They can motivate people to take action to achieve their goals, and they can help to shape the course of history. However, it is important to remember that ideologies are not always accurate or realistic, and they can sometimes be used to justify harmful or oppressive policies.

It is important for Society to be alert to moral corruption and "charismatic leaders" who will try and usurp power, resources, control for themselves. History is replete with examples of Leaders who usurped power for themselves... only for a short period but their only legacy is one of disruption and violence.
Time is the final victor.... but it is society and the people, who must ensure ideologies are not corrupted ....Ideology is meant to organize Society, to be able to progess and to ensure that social justice and the rule of law prevails.
