>From Wikipedia:

"Dogma... is the established belief or doctrine held by a religion,
ideology or any kind of organization, thought to be authoritative and
not to be disputed, doubted or diverged from."

If the communists or the capitalists insist that their ideology has to
be right, and any evidence that things are going wrong is either
ignored or put down to a deviation from the one true path, that's
dogma.
