normies think politics = elections. like they actually do not perceive economics and politics as being related
Why wouldn't they? They have literally been told since birth that politics and economics are two completely separate things, and that the reason communism failed is because it attempted to connect them.
It is only the sons and daughters of the bourgeois and politicians that usually have an understanding of the connections these things have, and more over, that they need to maintain control of them.
It's so bizarre how people fail to understand that economics and politics are inseparable. Economics determines how labor and resources are allocated; politics determines who benefits from that allocation. One answers 'how,' the other 'why.'
That's basically everyone who isn't some type of socialist. Even terminally online fascists and libertarians think economics and politics are seperate things. I think I've met maybe one lib in my entire life who knew the two are the same thing, but that's because he was a professor of political science.
