And people still deny class antagonism. I think in many respects, so long as you're dealing with a secular de-facto-materialist person (who will have idealist biases but claims to only really consider observable reality), understanding the irreconcilability of class antagonisms might be the main thing for making people socialists.
I’ve been considering making a short-form video essay on how the rich are all buddy-buddy. They run the world and they have a strong sense of class solidarity. One of the main examples on how a lot of Jewish elites in Germany willingly supported the nazis, and were ok with being the “patsies” so to speak for the porks as a whole.
People need to be made more aware on how the rich hypocritically use leftist tactics and philosophy to organize their class. What is a network but capitalist unionizing?
tbh im not a big fan of the idea that capitalists are buddies and collude in smoke filled back rooms. Im sure it does happen sometimes but the fact of the matter is the incentives are obvious enough that explicit collusion is not necessary.
I'd say that a trust is a real capitalist union (and other similar formations). Networks don't have any sort of binding element, usually, and are extremely hierarchical.
In any case, I think that if you believe you can make a good video on the subject, you should go for it!
You just mentioned the reason why I think a lot of capitalists use blackmail and weird rituals to keep one another in line. They bind one another through socially pressured pedophilia, or drug use, or even simple stuff like lies about how much money they actually have.
Although I haven't really figured out if this is to make the public think that capitalists aren't bound together (by having their connections more secretive) or because there are genuine disagreements between different sectors of bourgeoisie. I can't imagine every capitalist is fully aware of the game.
Outside of trusts and the like, the capitalists are in competition with each other and their broad conspiring is basically to maintain a beneficial playing field for that competition because they're all angling to become as rich as they can, and anyone who isn't is replaced by a competitor who is.
