I look forward to lecture and conversation with 11^th grade history students on the subject politics and ideology Wednesday and Thursday October 1 and 2. When a political vision offers a total explanation for the world it becomes an ideology and all ideologies contain totalitarian elements.   “Politics is content to make do with the existing state of society and to conciliate whatever interests are currently there. Ideology attempts to remake, not only government, but education, industry, art, even domesticity and private affections. All of these are accountable to this all-embracing ideology, which in trying to politicize society, ends up destroying politics altogether.” (From Political Visions and Illusions; A Survey & Christian Critique of Contemporary Ideologies, By David T. Koyzis page 21)
