no? People need food, water, shelter to live. You don't really need to take a stance on if those are all the same thing or not to say the amount one has influences their ability to succeed.
So you mean like mind-body dualism versus mind is part of body monism? Even then, the idea that there is a spirit separate from the body doesn't necessarily not work with materialist thought. It depends on if you think that spirit, or mind or what have you, can change your world without resources. If you think meditation allows you to float or prayer can cure all wounds, that is anti-materialist. Even then you can just give primary consideration to material politics and still work with it.

Monism, to my understanding, has many definitions, one of which is that the world is primarily material (i.e. materialism).
