<div><br><br>So if _Manufacturing Consent_ or _Necessary Illusions_, _The Political Economy of Human Rights_, _On Power and Ideology: The Managua Lectures_ or to name some essays I have read "The Responsibility of Intellectuals", "Objectivity and Liberal Scholarship", "The Revolutionary Pacifism of A. J. Muste: On the Background of the Pacific War", "Intellectuals and the State", "The Remaking of History", "Foreign Policy and the Intelligentsia", "Notes On Orwell's Problem", ... if all of this doesn't provide a critique of ideology, then I have no idea what you mean by "critique" and what you mean by "ideology." Perhaps you are using these terms in an esoteric way that I don't quite understand. So once again I ask you to please explain.
