The term "ideology" can cover almost any set of ideas, but its power to bewitch political activists results from its strange logic: that the modern Western world is actually the most oppressive system of despotism the world has ever seen. This work takes this complex construction apart, analyzing its logical, rhetorical, and psychological devices.
