Mannheim supports the idea that the social position of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat deeply influence the forms of knowledge that they embody; and in each case, he argues that these forms of material bias lead to a systematic falsification of social reality. Antonio Gramsci significantly extended Marxist thinking about ideology and consciousness in the s Gramsci Gramsci gave ideology a more active role in politics and history than classical historical materialism.
He argued that the proletariat has the ability to influence the terms of its consciousness, so there is an extended struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat over the terms of the representation of the existing social reality. This perspective introduces a major change into the classical theory of ideology, in that it denies that the subordinate class is simply the passive tool of the dominant ideology.

Economic success and failure rest squarely on the shoulders of the individual and do not take into account the totality of the social, economic, and political systems that shape our lives.
At the time Marx was writing about class consciousness, he perceived class as the relationship of people to the means of production—the owners versus the workers. While the model is still useful, we can also think about the economic stratification of our society into different classes based on income, occupation, and social status. Decades' worth of demographic data reveals that the American Dream and its promise of upward mobility is largely a myth.
In truth, the economic class a person is born into is the primary determinant of how he or she will fair economically as an adult. However, as long as a person believes the myth, he or she will continue to live and operate with a false consciousness. Without a class consciousness, they will fail to recognize that the stratified economic system in which they're operating was designed to afford only the bare minimum of money to workers while funneling huge profits to the owners, executives, and financiers at the top.
