Althusser, refers to Mao's succinct formulation: "It is only when there is class struggle that there can be philosophy."
The ruling class (whose ideas are the ruling ideas) is represented by the spontaneous ideology, let us suppose Trump's 'MAGA' as a spontaneous ideology
while the dominated class Sanders AOC Woke Liberals Progressives has to fight its way through intense conceptual work. The problem is such groups are seen as knee jerk
reactions, think Pavlov's dogs with their anticipatory salivation, a prime example would be the Democrats en general (Impeachment) or their tired old Mantra (Russia Russia)
