"I agree with your first point, and fail to see how you get to your second point, despite your use of 'therefore'. Your (false) presumption is that no set of ideas is based in reality."
Ideologies are based in syntax not reality.
By contrast, scientific theories are tested against reality and are only accepted if they are confirmed in the lab.
I assert that there is a science to economics and governance that has evolved in the real world and can be discovered and applied with experimentation.
Failed concepts should be discarded and successful concepts need to be incorporated in Economics and Governance. This is the opposite of ideology wherein practitioners "hold the course" long after it becomes obvious that their ideas are failing in the real world.
BTW, I am certain that Lassez-faire market economics is the "natural" state of human affairs that has evolved over human history and is not an ideology.
So you can't use words when TALKING about reality. How exactly do you interact with people without SYNTAX?!? Because they have syntax they can't be based in reality?!?

Laissez Faire economics is most certainly a body of ideas (see Hayak), and therefore meets the definition of an idiology.
You are trying to distort the meaning of words. Remind not to waste time with you again.
