Now, the real question is - two accounts from the same person, or from a third party pretending to be a lot of accounts?

They're not quite identical - they swap "workers rights" and "property rights" as well as a few other words. Either it's one person trying to be clever on two accounts or the newer post is someone different trying to be clever in response to the original comment.

  Ah, you're right, when I saw the two top-level comments, I didn't read them each word for word. Odd that the second one is a top-level comment, though, rather than a reply.
