    The belief in "human nature" that people's ideas and beliefs and nature shape the world, and not material conditions is a core part of liberalism

      yup. Human nature as an absolute and static thing is garbage philosophy. Marx had it right in Theses on Feuerbach and Capital. https://www.marxists.org/archive/fromm/works/1961/man/ch04.htm

      [T]he human essence is no abstraction inherent in each single individual. In its reality it is the ensemble of the social relations.
