I'm making this post by Skinner into the basis for a thread

7. I am willing to assume, for the sake

of argument, that an individual person cannot make a positive contribution to solving or even defining a political problem unless the individual has a political ideology. I don't believe that, but I am willing to assume it for the sake of argument.

(I suspect that we may have different and conflicting ideas in mind associated with the words "political ideology" so that perhaps there is no substantive difference of opinion here. Perhaps an example would be helpful if you can think of one.)

However, I have described a kind of political organization that perhaps already exists or perhaps could exist, and the organization itself might consist of members who define and solve political problems even though the organization itself may have no stance on any topic of political ideology. This should be clear if you can imagine a government having no official doctrines on questions of theology even though many of its employees may be strong atheists or devout theists.
