This is such top tier liberalism.

      If you trust material analysis, you wouldnt think trump is just a big sad boy, but that his actions and the actions of those around him are dictated by his wealth and social class.

        Those are the same things, the basic building block of fascism is the patriarchal "family unit" (lol libs going mask off as soulless drones)

        Not just his wealth and social class, but also the material conditions that existed in the united states and around the world which lead to him being successfully elected

        That's so vague though. What would be more useful would be if you explained how Trump's action to run for president was dictated by his wealth and social class in a way that doesn't match others of his environment.

        Actually I'll be honest, I don't have any proof, but I don't even think that's what things are like irl. I think it's more likely to be that political movements in the classical sense have constituencies they respond to and when you get to a mass level where people's individual idiosyncrasies get squashed by statistics, what you have is the statistical beliefs of groups that have an incentive to convince themselves that what's good for themselves is what's good for everyone, and these people tend to associate with each other, right? But individual people can have all sorts of motivations for doing whatever because their actions aren't constrained the way political actions are. AFAIK, Lenin, Trotsky, Engels were all from a bourgeois class background.

          ok yes ofc not everything is purely materialistic, otherwise it would be class war 24/7. im just trying to say that libs like in picture above view reality as completely unattached to real motivations and that your thougths arent connected and mainly guided by your possesions, like it's all a big stage play. trump did it cos he is evil and wicked and his papa beat him, but mostly cos he really likes money and power, and promised republicans money and power.
