      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.
