poliotope USSR: the ideological world

Meta-ideology is the study of the structure, form, and manifestation of ideologies. Meta-ideology posits that ideology is a coherent system of ideas, relying upon a few basic assumptions about reality that may or may not have any factual basis, but are subjective choices that serve as the seed around which further thought grows. According to this perspective, ideologies are neither right nor wrong, but only a relativistic intellectual strategy for categorizing the world. The pluses and minuses of ideology range from the vigor and fervor of true believers to ideological infallibility. Excessive need for certitude lurks at fundamentalist levels in politics and religions.

The essence of CCCP’s ideology is based around the cold war. THe economy is run on prodcution of military equipment, and Murmansk ‘s growth is a direct result of this.

After 1972, the period increased by an average of 2 days, indicating an extended melting period for the ice sheet of about 70 days: 40 and 30 days in spring and autumn, respectively. From 1960 to 1972 the melting period (with a >10% melt extent) decreased by an average of 3 days

Biotope Ecotope Spectacle When an Ideology, the abstract will - and the illusion- of the universal, is legitimized by the univer-sal abstraction and the effective dictatorship of illusion in modern society, it is no longer a volun-taristic struggle of the partial, but its victory. At this point, ideological pretention acquires a sort of flat positivistic exactitude: it is no longer a historical choice but a fact. In this toy of assertion, the particular names of ideologies have disappeared. Even the role of specifically ideological labor in the service of the system comes to be considered as nothing more than the recognition of an "epis-temological base" that pretends to be beyond all ideological phenomena. Materialized ideology has no name, just as it has no expressible historical program. This is another way of saying that the history of ideologies is over.

The Gaia hypothesis, also known as Gaia theory or Gaia principle, proposes that all organisms and their inorganic surroundings on Earth are closely integrated to form a single and self-regulating complex system, maintaining the conditions for life on the planet.

Ideology as an instrument of social reproduction

Karl Marx posits that a society’s dominant ideology is integral to its superstructure. In the Marxist economic base and superstructure model of society, base denotes the relations of production, and superstructure denotes the dominant ideology (religious, legal, political systems). The economic base of production determines the political superstructure of a society. Ruling class-interests determine the superstructure and the nature of the justifying ideology—actions feasible because the ruling class control the means of production. For example, in a feudal mode of production, religious ideology is the most prominent aspect of the superstructure, while in capitalist formations, ideologies such as liberalism and social democracy dominate. Hence the great importance of the ideology justifying a society; it politically confuses the alienated groups of society via false consciousness, such as in the case of commodity fetishism—the belief that value is inherent to a commodity, rather than external, added to it via labor.

"It is true that the operations of walking on can be traced on city maps in such a way as to transcribe their paths (here well trodden, there very fain) and their trajectories(going this way and not that). But these thick or thin curves only refer, like words, to the absence of what has passed by. Surveys of routes miss what was: the act itself of passing by. The operation of walking, wandering, or "window shopping", that is the activity of passers-by, is transformed into points that draw a totalizing and reversible line on the map. They allow us to grasp only a relic set in the nowhere of a surface of projection. Itself visible, it has the effect of making invisible the operation that made it possible. These fixations constitute procedures for forgetting. The trace left behind is substituted for the practice. It exhibits the (voracious property that the geographical system has of being able to transform action into legibility, but in doing so causes a way of being in the world to be forgotten. "
