Here’s a question:

Is politics about the clash of ideologies or is it all ultimately about class struggle?

I think it’s ultimately about class struggle

And that the struggle between the interests of competing classes manifests itself in terms of competing ideologies

But what do other people think about this whole issue?

I think that class struggle is a factor of politics, but it’s too reductionary to fully stand on its own. The class struggle, racial divides, gender imbalances, these are all systems of hierarchy which put certain people in greater positions of power than others, creating power imbalances. This is the main driving force of politics, the distribution of power.
