• marx predicted in the future there would be a revolution to overthrow capitalism w/c gain class consciousness and fight back

  AO3 - however limited as ideas historically inaccurate plus PM critical as its a meta narrative not contributing to PM society
• false class consciousness prevents w/c from revolting against capitalism through ideological control and spreading r/c ideology to justify SC inequalities eg. religion 'opium of the people' to distract people into thinking its fair and not to challenge God

  AO3 - neomarx argue they can gain consciousness eg. burmanese monks
• althusser emphasises how fr r/c go to protect their position with each institution is part of ISA to transmit r/c beliefs to control w/c behaviour and limit revolutions - laws pass to enforce r/c intrest

  AO3 - feminists critical and argue men are the dominant groups to justify patriachal ideology
• education reproduces SC inequalities by the myth of meritocracy

  AO3 - functionalists oppose and argue all pupils have same opportunities but is down to individual effort not the education system
