There are the relentless, frontal ruling-class attacks. There are ideological attacks from the middle class, from the phony left and from social democrats who play around with radical ideas but deny socialism is inevitable. They are not revolutionaries, but reformists and opportunists. There are also attacks by some religious groups, especially fanatic right-wing, fundamentalist ones, and by vigilante and militia groups. The role of the working class and the class struggle is the foundation of our ideology.
Ideology serves as a framework, an overall backdrop.
In a sense, it becomes conditioned reflex that is often expressed unconsciously. A mastery of our Marxist working-class ideology gives us a unique way of looking at all phenomena in life. It molds our attitudes about everything. It even becomes part of our personal character. It determines our morality, our ethics and our culture.
