Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

In capitalism, that one person is most often a billionaire. And they don't do it with one group project at a time; they do it with hundreds all at once. And they say, "I'm kinda famous for how many As that I get, you should probably put my name first on the assignment."

In socialism, instead of giving out a bunch of worthless letter grades, everyone gets water, fruit, and a piece of candy at the end of each day! When the person with dragon sickness gets to the head of the line, they're given their food and drink. When they get back in line and tell the teacher, "but I worked on multiple group projects," the teacher tells them, "yeah, you did nothing a bunch of times. You should have only worked on one, and maybe then you would have been productive. Now fuck off, everyone gets one allotment daily. If I see you get back in line, I'm sending you to the principal for trying to defraud the distribution system."

And then when that person complains to their classmates, the classmates tell them to shut up and kick them in their shins. Eventually, that selfish little bastard learns that if they're gonna continue pursuing thievery, then they're going to have to steal the goods that people purchase by trading their extra pieces of candy, or directly steal the pieces of candy. But stealing is illegal, and they get arrested instead of praised as a genius for trying to game the system.
