    Another obvious thing liberals and adjacent don’t understand is that political ideologies don’t exist in the void, they are created and modified by the living society and will change to reflect that society. I would think this fact is absolutely obvious to anyone who licked even a small bit of history, but it’s apparently arcane knowledge and you need to be a marxist to know it…

      Well, the “classical fascist” had a lot of books about “history”, but he seemed to think that history is just battles and tanks - zero understanding of actual politics or economics. Very incoherent world view, but it’s hard to expect anything more from a person that spends most of their time drugged out of their mind and with myriad psychological problems. I knew that person for many years and I know that deep inside it is just a very troubled, suicidal individual with mental issues, but I gave up on him and don’t even feel sorry for him anymore. I tried to get him out and spent a lot of time trying to reason with him, but he’s most likely just too deep in that shit to get out now.

      Many if not most people are idealists and they just don’t understand dialectical materialism.
