Is there a name for the thing where every discussion online eventually becomes about stridently defending or bashing capitalism?

SOME PUBLIC FIGURE: I'm leaving twitter, too many trolls.

[ 50 pages of discussion ]

AGGRIEVED COMMIE: ACTUALLY, capitalism sucks!

(As it happens, totally agree with the commie stuff though. All the cheery talk about liberty and voluntarism is idiotic since it acts like primitive accumulation and enclosure don't exist, as if everybody starts out with equal capital to manage, like in a board game.)

as a filthy commie, i hope it's the reawakening of the global proletariat :3

Like Bob Fitch said, vulgar Marxism explains about 90% of what goes on in the world.
