Ideologia e apparati ideologici di Stato

Understanding the origins of this idea could shed light on how Althusser saw the functioning of power in society. I'm curious about the historical or personal factors that influenced this theory.

The way Althusser separates these mechanisms made me think about how different institutions maintain control. Do others see these categories clearly reflected in today’s institutions?

It made me reconsider the ways governments and media shape public consciousness. I'm interested in whether readers see this analysis as more critical or optimistic about societal change.
