Social Order Is a Product of Ideologies

Human action is directed by ideologies. Ideologies are not, as marxism asserts, a product of a certain state of social affairs. No individual would make headway in his reasoning if he were under the necessity of starting from the beginning. The most ruthless among the older german conquerors were the teutonic knights who fought in the name of the cross. New ideologies may emerge and may supersede older ideologies and thus transform the social system.
