• Abstract: In this short position paper, I develop a dialectical framework for understanding the political ideology of technological projects. To do so, I draw on critical and emancipatory social science discussions, highlighting how both a project's values and constraints are necessary for understanding its ideology. A brief example is then presented to aid comprehension.

  We study the ideology of the policy under discussion teasing apart the nuanced co-existence of stance and ideology. Aligned with the theoretical accounts in political science, we treat ideology as a multi-dimensional construct. We showcase that this framework enables quantitative analysis of polarization, a temporal, multifaceted measure of ideological distance.
