Ideologies are systems of belief. Which are stupid, because belief ought to be based upon facts, which are themselves derived from specific circumstances.
A capitalist ideology holds that free markets are best everywhere. Whereas a coherent and logical belief is that some ideas within capitalism make sense within specific contexts, and others do not... But even this shouldn't be thought of as always true. Sometimes the best idea just doesn't work, after all.
The point is, if you want to construe ideology to mean "the whole of a persons beliefs," then yes, it cannot be eradicated, in that people will continue to have beliefs. But if you interpret ideology correctly, which is a system (ie various parts working in tandem), then obviously ideology can be eradicated by insisting upon specific, case by case, context dependent solutions.
