    I came across a person who calls themself a capitalist communist, and they were serious about it. They even wrote a paper about it during college class which I know about it because they got into fights with a teacher over it.

      Was it just outright Nazbol shit or was it some kind of bazingabrained "Capitalism is when you have freedom and some people are rich and most are poor, and communism is where there's no freedom and everybody is poor but at least there's equality, so what we need is communism but with more freedom and where everybody is middle-class!" thing

        It talked about giving everyone an equal chance in a hierarchy for example the government would mandate who is rich or poor on a certain week, and why this could be a classless society because no one would be really be rich or oppressive because the government would give everyone a chance.

        Its sort of like the war draft system, but for deciding what part of the hierarchy you would be in for a week.

          This is a political idea you have when you first gain political consciousness at like 15 years old and hold that as a viewpoint in order to express that you're capable of being politically imaginative (AKA not a sheeple) to your peers, but then a week later go "nah, that's fucking stupid actually"

      I'm imagining those went like every single other time I ever saw some douche student try to argue with a professor and I'm enjoying the thought of a classroom full of people getting annoyed and telling the student to just shut the hell up already
