    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"

        That's weird, but at least it wasn't quite as stupid as :melon-musk: 's "ironic unless" take that Marx was a capitalist because he wrote a book about capital and that the good kind of socialism is the one that makes the rich richer.

      My best guess was that it was :melon-musk: style gross misunderstanding of socialism, and capitalism for that matter.
