What about nature

your conception of nature has a huge influence on your politics.

liberals will conceive of nature as a seemless realm of deterministic mechanical causality, the more fascist you get the more monist and spiritualist your 'nature' is gonna get. if your nature is a divinely ordained whole or a gaia spirit you will naturalize social hierarchies likewise. if your nature is a clockwork mechanism so will be your markets.

the more leftwards you go the more profane and critical your relationship with 'nature' will be, with the most radical relation coinciding with the most rigorously materialist stance - like god, there's no such thing as nature.
