This discussion paper aims to collect ideologies regarding rhetorical criticism in Thai politics, specifically relating to addresses given through radio and television nationwide. This article continues the discussion of ideologies in Thai politics by separating ideologies into three categories: (1) political ideology, (2) economic ideology, and (3) social and cultural ideology. In the category of political ideology, four political ideologies were found, including (1) authoritarianism, (2) monarchy, (3) nationalism, and (4) democracy. In the category of economic ideology, three economic ideologies were found, including (1) capitalism, (2) materialism, and (3) self-sufficiency economy ideology. In the category of social and cultural ideology, three social and cultural ideologies were found, including (1) feudalism, (2) patriarchy, and (3) Buddhism. Drawing on ideological insights from Thai politics, this article can further be utilized to investigate rhetorical strategies and ideological criticism in future Thai politics and other nation’s politics.
