Criticisms of all major ideologies
Critiquing
quotes guide
It should be relatively easy to find
quotes that reflect ideological issues and explain why each ideology is
valuable. You also need to be aware of the pitfalls and criticisms of
ideologies. Some ideas are outlined here; see if you can identify any key
thinkers that have inferred that they agree.
Liberalism
Most often criticised by the more
right wing groups (conservatives/nationalists etc), though of course,
socialists and anarchists also find flaws with this ideology. Perhaps because
of its naturally centralised position, liberalism seems to be snubbed by many
political writers, as well as endorsed by others.
Conservatism
Usually criticised for being opposed
to progression and elitist, conservatism tends to be most venomously attacked
by left-wing thinkers. Socialists in particular clash with this ideology in
numerous ways.
Anarchism
The legitimacy of anarchy as an
ideology has been questioned by some, and critiqued by many. The majority of
ideological views include some form of structure; with disagreements over
whether there is a hierarchy or centralisation within power structures. Anarchy
dispels any notion of order or control over the individual, which is why it
conflicts so much with other ideologies.
Socialism
Socialism, as a left-wing ideology
that supports the maintenance and equality of every member of society as a
whole, tends to clash most with ideologies that focus on the importance of the
individual (conservatism/anarchism).
Fascism/
Nationalism
Fascism is widely recognised by many
as a radical strain of nationalism. Not accepted by all as a fully developed
ideology, but more as one single value lacking reasoning and ideas for
political structure, fascism receives a range of criticisms.
