I would say that the magic pretty firmly falls in the magic realism category. As in, it doesn't matter if it's "real" or not because it's presented as real and the characters interpret it that way. Or I'm still misunderstanding magical realism.
If you use the words "human nature" in an argument I am ignoring everything you say after that point
Consider that their environment, I'm assuming you're from :amerikkka: or at least the west, has drilled into them since childhood that rugged individualism is what's morally correct. The concept of the superstructure and the base, that the superstructure is the combination of education/media/culture that drives into people repeatedly the message that competition is good and on a subtler level might makes right. The culture which valorizes success as material wealth and demonizes poverty is what leads people to be selfish and uncooperative. It is the sense of compassion and cooperation which has been killed by society and the elite have worked very hard to make it this way.

Cooperation for mutual benefit is human nature 😈
In the Parliamentary period of Russia, the Socialist party participated in elections at every level they could. They didn't limit themselves to elections because they established Soviets to build dual power, but they were interested in siezing the levers of power however they could.

If you want to use the "American" phrasing, sit-ins during the the Civil Rights movement were essentially barricades. But I like the word barricades a lot more.
California is the most hated state.
The original Digimon is about the death of imagination and childhood innocence in a capitalist system. Before the jump into the digiverse, they live in 90s Japan (Tokyo maybe?), it's all grey tones, and every one of the children's parents is distant, many of them because of issues of capitalism. The Digiverse provides a literal escape from 90s capitalist Japan, but also a mental escape from the monotony of growing up to reproduce capitalism. No I will not elaborate, and Wizardmon goes hard.
