== == False consciousness is the Marxist thesis that material and institutional processes in capitalist society are misleading to the proletariat, and to other classes. These processes betray the true relations of forces between those classes, and the real state of affairs regarding the development of pre-socialist society (relative to the secular development of human society in general). This is essentially a result of ideological control which the proletariat either do not know they are under or disregard with a view to their own POUM (probability/possibility of upward mobility)[1]. POUM or something like it is required in economics with its presumption of rational agency; otherwise wage laborers would be the conscious supporters of social relations antithetical to their own interests, violating that presumption My source was wikipedia.

Anyone know how to paraphrase the meaning of this word-False consciousness?

Actually I have the meaning of this word from book, but I want to know how to paraphrase the meaning. The following is the meaning that the book provided. False consciousness: In Marxist theory, the process by which the real economic imbalances of the dominant social system get hidden and ordinary citizens come to believe in the perfection of the system that in fact oppresses them. The biblical phrase "the meek shall inherit the earth" would be considered by Marxism to be an example of false consciousness, as it tells the downtridden not to rebel against the system but to instead await later reward, 20th century developments in Marxism see the concept of false consciousness as itself potentially oppressive because it characterized the masses as unware dupes of the system, In contrast, concepts such as hegemony emphasize the active struggle people engage in over meanings rather than their passive acceptance of ideological systems.
