POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS

An ideology is a system of political beliefs; an action oriented set of political ideas. Many define
ideology as the world view of a particular social class or a social group; the ideas of the ruling class.
The term ideology was first coined by Antoine Destutt de Tracy during the French Revolution. He
referred ideology to the new science of ideas.
Ideology offer an account of the existing order, usually in the form of world view. It also
advance a model of desired future, or a vision of good society. Further, ideology can explain how
political change can and will be brought about.
In social studies, a political ideology is a certain set of ethical ideals, principles, doctrines,
myths or symbols of a social institution, class or large group that explains how society should work
and offers some political and cultural blueprint for a certain social order. For instance, President
Duterte has described himself as leftleaning during his campaign and presidency, but has stressed
that he was not a communist, but a socialist.
A political ideology largely concerns itself with how to allocate power and to what ends it
should be used. Some political parties follow a certain ideology very closely while others may take
broad inspiration from a group of related ideologies without specifically embracing any one of them.
The popularity of an ideology is in part due to the influence of moral entrepreneurs, who sometimes
act in their own interests. Political ideologies have two dimensions: (1) goals: how society should be
organized; and (2) methods: the most appropriate way to achieve this goal.
Some political ideologies are:

1. Anarchism- the central belief that political authority in all forms and especially in the form of
the state is both evil and unnecessary. Example: gender equality can be a common principle but ranks
as a higher priority to anarcha-feminists than anarchist communists.

2. Conservatism- the desire to conserve and is reflected in a resistance to, or at least

suspicion of, change. The central themes are tradition, human imperfection, organic society, authority
and property. Example: Traditional marriage consisting of two individuals with opposite sex.

3. Fascism- its core theme is an idea of an organically unified national community, embodied
in a belief in ‘strength through unity.’ individual in a literal sense, is nothing; individual identity must be
entirely absorbed into the community or social group. Example: Fascism can destroy entrepreneurial
spirit, thus limiting the innovation that creates jobs, more tax revenue, and higher stock prices.

4. Liberalism- its core theme is a commitment to the individual and the construction of the
society in which individuals can satisfy their interests or achieve fulfilment. Examples: Weekends, paid
vacation, paid overtime, paid maternity leave, desegregation, abolishing slavery, allowing women to
vote, protecting the young, protecting the disabled, protecting the elderly, religion-free education,
freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, right to protest, right to die, right to choose.

5. Socialism- opposition to capitalism and its attempt to provide a more humane and socially
worthwhile alternative. A middle point between capitalism and communism. Example: Workers (unlike
capitalists) must sell their labor power to make a living.

6. Capitalism- an ideology that is focused on profit, and production is privately owned.

Example: Singapore had an amazing period of economic development to get to where it is today. It
became a manufacturing and financial center because of its open economic policies. Singapore is a
great example of capitalism. It has low taxes and freedom for businesses to operate and trade
internationally.

 7. Nationalism- an ideology that promotes the interests of a particular nation especially with
the aim of gaining and maintaining the nation’s sovereignty over its homeland. One example is the
Made in the Philippines campaign. The premise behind this campaign is that materials made in the
Philippines are superior to products made in China, for example.

8. Feminism- this aims to define, establish, and achieve the political, economic, personal and
social equality of the sexes. Example: Right to vote is granted to both male and female.

It is important to realize that ideology is not just something that is important to politics or
politicians. Ideology influences all of our lives, but in works in such a way we often unaware of its
influences.
