Over time, the selfsame ideologies become “hegemonic,” not that they change, but because circumstances change while the ideology becomes more and more concerned with its own preservation. What causes this decline into reification and stasis is precisely the absence of reflexiveness within ideological thought, the mind to recognize its own origins and limitations, and the lack of opportunities for udfoldelse differently. In excluding all we are discussing it here, criticality is given opposite of the hegemonic.
