Nah, you came in here declaring materialism to be tyrannical, when historically it has been idealism used by monarchists, fascists, and liberals to exploit the people while materialism has been liberatory, and used in service of working class liberation.

I don't equate it, but it's in the same family. I don't really care how you spin it, dialectical materialism is the liberating philosophy of the proletariat, and any attempt to spin it as "the ultimate tyranny" is just vibes and nonsense.
