Britney Spears appeared to have a politically charged message to her 23.6 million Instagram followers on Monday amid the widespread quarantine sparked by the coronavirus outbreak.
The pop star shared a lengthy quote -- from an individual named "Mimi Zhu" -- that, among other things, called for the redistribution of wealth.

Technologies like virtual communication, streaming and broadcasting are part of our community collaboration. We will learn to kiss and hold each other through the waves of the web."
The post continued, "We will feed each other, re-distribute wealth, strike. We will understand our own importance from the places we must stay. Communion moves beyond walls. We can still be together."

The post raised plenty of eyebrows on social media on Tuesday so much so that the "Baby, One More Time" singer earned a new nickname from progressive Twitter: "Comrade Britney."
"Hey Britney Spears is now Comrade Britney! Welcome to the socialist and leftist family!" one Twitter user said.
