Louis Althusser

“Ideology has very little to do with 'consciousness' - it is profoundly unconscious.”

“In the battle that is philosophy all the techniques of war, including looting and camouflage, are permissible.”

“There is no such thing as an innocent reading, we must ask what reading we are guilty of.”

“Ideology... is indispensable in any society if men are to be formed, transformed and equipped to respond to the demands of their conditions of existence.”
