New paradox baffles top Harvard researchers: the more people understand capitalism, the more they embrace socialism.

My friend, who is a self titulated capitalist, was mocking me like "oh looks who is embracing capitalism" because I got myself a promotion and a 30% rise telling my boss I was applying to a position in other department and I was like bitch getting more of my surplus value is the most socialist thing I can do in my position.

"oh looks who is embracing capitalism"

I like how one hexbear user put it:

socialism is not identity politics but with class aesthetics.

Liberals are fundamentally unable to comprehend this. Leftism not a lifestyle, it's not a set of arbitrary rules individuals must follow. It's a strawman embraced by every capitalist society on Earth.

You claim to be communist and yet you work. Curious!

My friend, who is a self titulated capitalist

Ask your friend how much capital they own

That deen of the factory is missing somewhere with the bonds and the titles of their lands.
