Reminds me of that
SCP about an Earth-like planet of humans who are all infected with a parasite that makes them worship a beetle to the point that they implant multiple members of the species in their bodies, and even did it with newborn infants before they found out how old a person had to be to be able to be implanted without instantly dying. Then at the end of the article, it turns out that the parasite is actually intelligent and exists as a hive mind inside of every infected creature, and it can fully take over their bodies at will.
The author claimed it was a metaphor for capitalism, when it literally describes a completely collectivist society that subsumes the will of the individual in favor of the entire race putting all of their resources towards worshiping an insect.
Coincidentally, the author's username is "Communism will win." I'm pretty sure they got booted off the site for being a sex pest like the Jack Bright admin, but I'm not positive.
