Some guy really thought he was doing something when he set up a photo labeling some Halloween candy “capitalism” and other candy “socialism,” but now the whole internet is simply dragging him.

It’s unclear where the photo originated from, but it shows a man sitting behind a table of king-sized candy bars.

“Capitalism,” the sign reads, before listing off bullet points including “Abundant choices,” “King size,” “Eat until you’re full.”

On the ground next to it is a small basket meant to represent socialism. “Meh,” “‘Fun size,’” and “Honestly you’ll still be hungry” are written on its sign.

The man is obviously trying to imply that capitalism is a wonderful system and socialism is unilaterally bad, using Halloween candy to teach kids his worldview. But it backfired on him pretty spectacularly once the photo hit the internet and smarter people started pointing out the glaring flaws in that plan.

the 1% will get the king size twix, but once all the kids learn this house is the gravy train? the remaining kids will be settling for smarties.

Also, you’ll never be really satisfied because of how the refined sugar tricks you into wanting more. So, it’s more consumism than capitalism.

Although some people were just there to drag him.

Each of those king size boxes are like $50 on Amazon. So over $150.

And Halloween is kind of a hilarious holiday for him to use to denounce socialism, when you think about it.

Well, you’re giving things away to children who pretend to threaten you with property damage.

If you’re going to try to go viral for making things weird for kids on Halloween, at least do some research and get your analogy right.
