There's a lot to be said about socialism, as an ideology, functionally mimicing religion. It is both a way of both precieving the world and making moral judgements. A completely isolated socialist without any grounding theory would behave as described. But is that real Socialism? Is Seventh Day Adventism real Christianity?
what good is talking about the real (ideal) ideology? ideology is expressed by and through human action. it is itself a function of hegemonic liberalism that we believe ourselves to be totally formed anew just by adopting an ideological label.
