The ideology is not merely descriptive but it is practical as well. It is not only about a number of very general ideas that are the basis of group members’
specific beliefs about the world that guide their interpretation of events but it also influences their social practice. According to Fairclough 2003: 9, “Ideologies are
representation of aspects of the world which can be shown to contribute, to establishing, maintaining, and changing social relations of power, domination, and
exploitation”. Thus, ideology is practical as the power holders use the belief to control the powerless people.
Ideology is the power and domination, which owned by a group who have positions, attitudes, beliefs, and perspectives. Government is a group of people
who has power and domination since they are officially controlled a country. In relation to the Nazism, Nazi has power and domination to control Germany
because of the position of Adolf Hitler as the leader of nation. He is hegemonic; he has position of being the strongest and most powerful and therefore can control
others. The control itself is about the order, limit or rule people’s actions or behavior. In a country, laws and policies become government’s tools to control
people. The ideology may be more or less positive and negative depending on our
point of view or group membership. Marx and Engels define ideology in a negative sense. They state, “Ideologies are systems of false ideas representing the
consciousness of the ruling class, and used to promote and legitimize its power”. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

counter negative ideology. The opposition to the common ideologies normally contains the
disapproving opinions or suggestions that the ideologies are not good or not important. Moreover, it is due to the negative impacts of the ideology to the social
life. As like a common ideology called Nazism, it has counter-ideology so-called anti-Nazism. However, to spread the ‘anti-ideology’ is not that easy. Inferior
