To consider the human being (only?) As the vehicle through which are expressed "determinisms" over which he has no control while the majority only consciously (or subconsciously) undergo the decisions of the strongest seems to me a reductive strand, but I could be wrong. Fortunately, I still have a space of naivety ...
If there are stronger and weaker ones it is due to something, right?
Attention, I am not saying that we have no power, on the contrary we have the duty to take cognizance of such phenomena in order to no longer be a slave to them.
Of course we have power and knowledge, and indeed we must use them to act. But knowledge is what buggers ideologists. They always find it very difficult to accept realities. This is why we have tyrannies: they want to format man in accordance with their whims because they see him as a product of society whereas it is society that emerge from individuals. They therefore decree that society must be as if or like that, impose it by force and millions of deaths if necessary (Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot), too stupid to understand that we cannot change a society without first having men evolve, to pick the fruit of it with a little help if it is ripe, as was the case with the French Revolution.
