>>667519>>667961Zizek's and Althusser's critique of ideology is relevant here, and excuse me for vulgarising their theory for the sake of brevity. The working class is conditioned from birth, by simply living in capitalism, into not being able to conceptualize that capitalism was not historically eternal and cannot be historically eternal. For example, the misconception that "capitalism is human nature". To borrow a term from Kant, capitalism in the unconscious collective of the working class becomes like a categorical imperative, "a rule of conduct that is unconditional or absolute for all agents, the validity or claim of which does not depend on any desire or end."
Hence, "working sucks but one day I'm gonna be a boss" (capitalism is unaffected), or, "working sucks but if we just replace the corrupt (Jews, elite, etc.) everything will be alright" (capitalism is unaffected)
