    The kind of socialism under which everybody would get the same upvotes, an equal quantity of likes and an equal quantity of retweets, would wear the same avatars and receive the same awards in the same quantities — such a socialism is unknown to Marxism.

    All that Marxism says is that until classes have been finally abolished and until posting has been transformed from a means of subsistence into the prime want of man, into voluntary labor for society, people will be paid for their posts according to the shitposting performed. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his posts.” Such is the Marxist formula of socialism, i.e., the formula of the first stage of communism, the first stage of communist society.

    Only at the higher stage of communism, only in its higher phase, will each one, working according to his ability, be recompensed for his posts according to his needs. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”
