so you dont think individual tendencies are also a factor in something like this?
If I had to be honest in absolute, I would tell you that individual tendencies is not a relevant concept to explain the world.
But we don't live in this world yet andwe are not ready for that kind of discourse. In fact it could even be harmfull in a way. So the human approach is mosre suited here:
I heard a french philosoph - Chantal Jaquet - explaining this very interestingly:
She talks about the way Spinoza viewed the human action and developped a philosophy he called "the power of acting (
potentia agendi)", where he explains that understanding our place in the world it's not about resigning socialy because of our assignation to a certain class nor it it is about believing in a form of individual superior "will" or "free will". It's about understanding that we have a potential of agency through "social determinated networks" internal and external. We move through our links with others.
Pretty ironic coming from someone who support open borders tbh
Unlearning the beliefs that benefit the ruling class is understanding that the ruling class does not benefit from open borders but by the frontiere, systems and thus exploitations they create through these processes.
People like me, we need open borders and the momentum of an internationality to allow all communities and people of the world to live free and take action againt the imperialistic systems in place globally. But the ruling class needs the opposite, they needs to keep frontieres in place while giving the illusion of openeness to keep their exploitative system in place.
You will never see a rightist or a liberal in power call for the abolition of frontiers.
