    Not to mention Luthor fixes the United States by enforcing a planned economy

    For all intents and purposes, Luthor does a Socialism but calls it Luthornomics and everyone is fine with it

      Oh shit! Either I completely forgot that part or (more likely) my 20ish lib brain completely glossed over that detail...but I kinda remember it! I do remember that in the end of the comic(prior to the twist at least): communism basically wins right? Like the irony of the whole story is that at the end it isn't a fight between capitalism and socialism, but rather Luthor flavored Communism and Superman flavored Communism.

        Yep

        Aside from the Time Loop aspect, it's actually a fairly optimistic story about how Communism will win
