Editing Political ideology (section)

== Role in government ==

Governments often use ideology to explain their structure and direction. The ideology of a government may affect how ministries are organized, how laws are written, how officials are appointed, and how political opposition is treated. The form of government may be a [[monarchy]], [[republic]], [[dictatorship]], [[fascist state]], or another system, while the ideology supplies the political reasoning behind its authority.<ref name="government-overview"/>

A ruling party can also serve as the main institution for ideological control. The [[NSTAP]] was the ruling political party of the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]] and functioned as the regime's central ideological and political organization. It organized political training, propaganda, and ideological supervision within the state structure.<ref name="nstap-role"/>
