Example: the Nazi regime was empowered to defend the capital interests of German industry from domestic revolution. Everything else flowed from this.  

All these little problems are compounds of this single much larger issue. And again, this isn't as vulgar as "spread the wealth" in the sense of seizing bank accounts. It is about eliminating generalized production for exchange altogether.

Marxist theory is based on capital and violence being two of the key concepts.  The owners of the means of production are pitted against the source of the labor using violence.  If you assume labor turns miraculously from revolutionaries into saints, fine.  Color me dubious.

From another perspective, let’s assume tribal thinking is the point of view.  You divide the world into us and them, develop xenophobia towards them, and use whatever means necessary to dominate them.

Marxism becomes one example of tribal thinking.  The owners of the means of production become them.  Laborers become us.  You work up all the bad aspects of them.  You try to use violence to eliminate them.

Nazi culture was the last crisis.  The Aryan was from their perspective us.  The Jew and the Slavs were them.  You worked up a hatred of them, then used violence to subjugate and eliminate them.

Now let’s go with the current crisis.  Systematic racism.  Check.  Whites us, minorities them.  Red Violence.  Check.  Reds against blues, whites against minorities.  Global warming.  Sorta check.  Those that care for the planet are us.  Those who care more for immediate profit are them.  COVID.  Shouldn’t match unless you call the bug them.  One side of the problem is entirely impersonal.  The economy.  The immediate problem is caused by COVID, and does not mesh up well with tribal thinking perspective, but underneath the surface is biomes the elites versus the workers.  It is not the obvious and blatant problem, but is there.  There are non violent solutions.

Seemingly, every single problem cannot be pegged on tribal thinking.  Still, you see why the modern perspective confronts multiple problems.  By concentrating on one problem with one solution, you are just limiting your perspective.  That perspective has nothing to do with many modern problems.
