No, Target and Walmart aren’t nonprofits, but companies like them are becoming more attractive options for people who want to work in the nonprofit sector but simply can’t afford to. Data, in fact, indicate that there are [tens of thousands of nonprofit sector openings](https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/civicrm/mailing/view?reset=1&id=3622), but they’re going unfilled not because workers are dropping out of the workforce but because [they’re being successfully lured away by better jobs.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/12/08/october-employees-quitting-jolts/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=news_tab&fb_news_token=OOIlT4E7w3USZahhp45lrA%3D%3D.38nqV1Vy49c2O1kkd07KmWlwoDVmkVye21hlSnnhFDn3vc4k5xjS8AdU7t84suinJMM%2FPKcdnvdwYHzbC9urnlD5ZSWNMkBdUM%2B7vuVEDc%2BGJZcvHBol%2FmtNFVJ0Yp9T8iE2PCufiAhELsOR73nPjIbGjfqo6d0UZNCEVmlYxbwYgUtFZOMaJSj2zIpWXlXYUlP%2B%2Fmw36yIl8UrT2807wfJ1tEgOQfu294e2FTK16J%2BBsqv2biHZwfkspiu56MddS)

Citizens, Experts, and the Environment - The Politics of Local Knowledge
Frank Fischer
If ideologies exist, that is, if the term has any real use at all, then it would seem that a political theory or political philosophy could be related to a given ideology in at least two distinct ways. One possibility would be that a political philosophy could play a progressive role in combating ideological illusion, such as when the philosophy in question demonstrates the dependence of certain beliefs or desires on the continued existence of particular configurations of power that would otherwise remain hidden. This is philosophy as “criticism of ideology.” A second possibility is that a political theory or philosophy itself played an ideological role in society in that it fostered certain common ideological illusions, made them more difficult to detect, or created new ones, e.g., the idea that New Labour could represent a Third Way, or that all people in every society everywhere aspire before all else to a particular kind of “democratic” political culture.
