I will leave my comment before reading throughout the thread.
In contrast to materialism, modern causal determinism is a system of thought that does not give answers. It only speculates, based on countless observations, that all events are interconnected but how exactly we can't be absolutely sure. Causal determinism provides an argument for any position on the political spectrum so it is largely apolitical.
There is no conflict between free will and determinism. Since our actions affect the physical world, then free will deterministically influence our physical environment and, if our actions really matter for the soul (or whatever there is that gives us free will), so is the opposite. Regardless of the point of view, the conditions of causal determinism are always satisfied.
