private ownership of property, open markets... those sound like a systematic body of concepts to me. The fact that there are different derivations of capitalism don't discount the FACT that it is an ideology.

Che... here's a test... search yahoo for "capitalism ideology" and tell me what you find. m'kay? I'm seeing sites from universities which that describe capitalism as an ideology. Maybe in the CHE dictionary, capitalism isn't an ideology... but in the English language... in the Western world, CAPITALISM IS AN IDEOLOGY

Fascism is a distinct ideology also known as far right. There are defining characteristics for it.

I would say no. Right-wing authoritiarianism, even genocidal right-wing authoritarianism, does not fascism make. In the case of Turkey, most of the essential requirements for fascism are missing: movment of the ruined middle class and lumpen proletariet, support of the capitalist class, industrialized society, etc.

I think capitalism is an ideology. It is a system of operating and viewing the world just as much as socialism is. In fact capitalism and liberalism and/or conservatism are practically identical when compared to socialism.

I think the correct way to look at it would be:

Supporting Ideology -------> Economic System

Libertarianism --------> Capitalism

Communism ---------> Planned Economy

Similarly, "Planned Economy" is not an ideology

Behind each economic system there lies a fundamental view of man which differs frome achother (actually it's the compelte opposite) and economic systems are based on the way of viewing man.

For example, capitalism (liberalism, conservatism etc) claims that man is greedy and self centered by nature. Thus the economic model chosen is one of personal initiative, "harvesting" the greed etc

Communism in its foundations believes that man is by nature benevolent and helping, caring. The economic system which evolves from that theory of viewing man is one of collectivity, shared resources etc.

Fascist is usually used as an insult these days, not as an accurate political analysis (few people ever bother to do those).

Exactly. Franco basically dropped most of the outwardly "fascist" decorations of his regime, once the tide had clearly turned against the Italians and Nazis (and didn't have to appear "fascist" in order to maintain their "friendship")..

Is communism an ideology?

quote:

Where is the "visionary theorizing?"


State will wither away? Seems he's a crackpot, not a visionary.

quote:

Where is the "systematic body of concepts especially about human life or culture?"


Systematic? One could argue Marx just threw together some ideas.

quote:

Where is the "manner or the content of thinking characteristic of an individual, group, or culture?"


By this definition, anything I say would be an ideology.

quote:

Where is the "integrated assertions, theories and aims that constitute a sociopolitical program?"


Clearly, if Communism is integrated, why is it so disintegrated in practice?

Regarding Fascism in Turkey: I think it is correct that Turkey is not a Fascist state per se. However within the Turkish state there is a powerful Fascist organisation, commonly know as the Gray Wolves. They are employed by the state as assassins, agents provocateurs, and in certain military echelons. These are trained by the German intelligence and US advisors. Also many governors in the the Kurdish areas in Turkey are members of the Grey Wolves organisation.

The ideology of the Grey Wolves is racist and imperial. They believe in a Turkey from 'the Balkans to the Chinese Wall'. All citizens within must either assimilate into being Turks or be exterminated.

It is questionable if there has been a Fascist mobilization of the Turkish middle classes. However it is interesting to note the international nature of present day Fascism. In some ways the Turkish Fascist are really an extension of NATO.

M-W gave a misleading (to you) definition. As Chegitz pointed out, an ideology implies a state of thinking about human life and culture.

As American Heritage Dictionary gives:

quote:

1) ideology. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
...The body of ideas reflecting the social needs and aspirations of an individual, group, class, or culture. 2. A set of doctrines or beliefs that form the basis of...


Of course, the M-W defintion would have been sufficent for someone with enough common sense to realize what M-W was talking about.

despite the broad definition, that doesn't change the fact that Capitalism IS and ideology... again... search yahoo using "capitalism ideology"... you will find more than enough university sources confirming the fact I have presented.

to you perhaps... but I don't need to support my argument. There is no ARGUMENT. I'm stating a fact. You are denying the fact... that's not my problem.

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capita..._as_an_ideology

quote:
Capitalism as an ideology
As with many common words, and most particularly ideologically laden words, "capitalism" has many meanings. There can be great confusion amongst these meanings, and readers must be careful of which meaning a writer intends in any particular usage.

"Capitalism" as a phenomenon (the system of the private ownership of capital goods) is certainly different from "capitalism" as an ideology (the philosophical advocacy of that system). Moreover, the precise ideology meant by "capitalism" in the latter sense differs: what a Marxist or Green may describe as capitalist ideology may seem thoroughly alien to what a classical liberal means by calling himself a capitalist, and vice versa.

Opponents of capitalism sometimes deny that these represent subtantially different things, or say they go hand-in-hand. This criticism is often founded upon the Marxist idea that ideology is largely a consequence of underlying economic realities -- or the simplification thereof which holds that people favor ideologies which justify their behavior or privilege.

Although it is arguable whether these meanings the word "capitalism" of the same kind are somehow "equivalent" under someone's subjective notion of equivalence, for the sake of not making a straw man argument when accusing someone else to be a proponent of capitalism, these different concepts must be clearly distinguished.



from www.capitalism.org

quote:
1. What is capitalism?
Capitalism is a social system based on the principle of individual rights. The term capitalism is used here in the broader philosophical political sense, and not in the narrower economic sense, i.e. a free-market.
