The goal of studying ideologies is not to sort them into good and evil ones and to pick the best one. The goal is not to move left or right, but up and out. As long as we are triggered by ideology, we know we still carry competing infections.

If a functioning ideology is internally consistent does this mean it contains no evil? And how do we justify critiquing another system from within our own system? Can there be both resident and alien evil?

Evil is whatever harms the sacred purpose. Ideology needs no justification, a world without sacredness has no meaning. Sometimes ideologies are defined in such a way that even its adherents have no chance to not commit evil, so they are eternal sinners in need of redemption.
