Very well drawn. I do not see this topic as Socialist.
I really like the cartoons, Plane.
Cartoons are a very effective way to communicate ideas, and just when this is becoming known, they are becoming a smaller niche because of the waning interest in print media.
My father thought they were all silly and juvenile, but he let me read them, anyway. There are better and more comprehensible lessons in one issue of Carl Barks' Disney comic books than a whole horrible summer of Vacation Bible School. Scrooge McDuck and Huey, Dewey and Louie has Ezequiel beat by a country mile.
In the typical Disney comic book, the theiving Beagle Boys are thwarted by clever trickery, a sort of moral jiujitsu that turned their own greed against them.
Ezequiel had this to say: Repent or De Lawd is going to destroy your entire country! He prescribes=d that those who disagreed with him eat shit and die. Which apparently they did not do. Well, they died, but of natural causes.
(Israel is destroyed, but only after a very long time has passed).
Carl Barks had it all over the Bible.

I really can't tell whether this cartoonist is putting a joke in a joke or whether he is inventing his own new sort of socialism.
Not being able to tell for sure is part of the fun.
I loved comics when I was small, when Alley Oop , Barney Google ,Dick Tracy, Lil Orphan Annie, Popeye, Pogo and Lil Abner
(http://lil-abner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/lilabner3.gif)
I was too young to understand the political content , I enjoyed them as if they were purely written for me to enjoy.
Decades later I know that Pogo was very cutting to the people in power , that Lil Abner was constantly social commentary .
I was the little kid begging for this to be read to me, by people who didn't necessarily agree with the ulterior objectives.
A spoonful of sugar I guess.

Doonesbury is running a great lampoon of Trump in his Sunday comics.
I don't think Pogo or Lil Abner were ever all that inflammatory.

Science fictional, but hardly socialist.
It has much more resemblance to Spielberg than to any sort of socialism.
