Ideology

I would like to thank you in advance for reading this, and hopefully, take your time to answer it. Nevertheless, do you think that Ideology is still a valuable thing to debate?
Do you think that it is not something that is valid to discuss or that is not worth discussing? Do you think there is an ideology superior to others? Do you think liberalism, capitalism, socialism or nationalism all have good things, or one or some of them being better? Do you believe that your country is a democracy or do you find it discussable?

Thanks for taking the time to read it. I wish you the best of luck and a good day/evening.
Regards.

Discussing about ideologies is still valid, but should be kept inside certain limits.

Ideologies have invaded areas that should be kept away from ideological debate, like science or medicine. In this fields the only acceptable debate should be about facts

Ideological debate is too focused on concepts that are either outdated (the traditional left/right) dividion), or ambiguous (socialism, fascism), or do not mean the same in different zones and times (liberalism), or are simply used as slurs. Thus debate is flawed unless an agreement on the meaning of those concepts is reached, and that seems unlikely to happen.
