anticapitalist views of society in general are eldritch brain horrors that peel back the veil of reality and reveal the utter putrescence of capitalist society in such a way that its horrors are forever unseeable and, for some, almost unbearable, as every single moment which passes bears witness to uncountable instances of preventable suffering through not just exploitation but incredibly callous disregard for the value of human lives, and for communists it's that x10

It's such an apt metaphor. A horrifying tentacled mass called "capitalism" is puppeteering every society on the planet. Read a bit of leftist thought and you'll start seeing it everywhere - read a bit more and you'll perceive precisely how its tentacles are manipulating you. Try not to go mad as your perception broadens with every theory you imbibe.

A few societies are aware of the being. They know its tentacles are upon them, and they've declared their intentions to throw off the beast and finally slay it. But whether their plots and schemes for defeating the monster will bear fruit or not, for the time being they can only overcome its influence in fits and starts.
