It's redundant because there's already a term for it, ideology. "Nothing but" is your projection. Is it my fault that you think ideology is a "nothing but"? Sources of the term "ideology." Destutt coined it, Marx criticized it.
What makes you think the citation of sources is an "appeal to authority"? Appeal to authority is is a type of argument that solely rests on the transcendent "authority" of the source. Citing sources is just showing where the opinion came from, not that it is right because it came from there. > -- > Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
