Ideologies rarely make easily falsifiable statements.
Karl Marx said that a proletarian revolution will lead to heaven on Earth. This is a falsifiable statement (and it was successfully falsified), but in order to falsify it you have to try it which is often all an ideology wants.
Agreed, my point is that it is still meaningful to speak about ideologies being right or wrong.
