Althusser Explains Ideology

By Leo Gura - August 22, 2026

This is great stuff:

I was not familiar with Althusser until today. His ideas here dovetail perfectly with Actualized.org. But just to be clear, I am not a Marxist. Marxism itself suffers from all of these problems of ideology. It baffles me how someone can articulate the problems of ideology so well but then go right back to being a Marxist.

By the way, Althusser killed his wife by strangulation, but was declared unfit to stand trial on condition of insanity. That’s a hell of a bio for a philosopher. How am I supposed to compete with that?
