pinkie wanted to share her thought on politics but they were up against a powerful and entrenched system of capitalism that had been built up over generations, and it wasn't going to be dismantled overnight.

If I've had a nickel for every story that featured Pinkie heavily and was based on the Soviets, I'd have two, which is not much, but surprising that it happened twice...
As for the story itself, I feel the basic idea you got is very nice. It's easy to imagine Pinkie, wanting to please literally everyone, would be enticed by the idea of a completely egalitarian society. It's just that without establishing that the Equestria this story is set in is bad, the whole thing came off as very nebulous and handwavy. What I mean is stuff like this:
At least in the show's world, Equestria is largely already a place like this, despite operating nominally as an (arguably absolute) monarchy.
Not to mention the circumstances Marx wrote about that you echo here arose from the rapid industrialization at the end of the 19th century / beginning of the 20th. Before the idea of "treat your worker well and they'll be more productive" arose, along with the many laws we thankfully have, factories could extract as much yield from their workers as their owners wanted and the worker's life was even more worthless than nowadays.
Meanwhile Equestria is largely an agrarian / small-scale industry nation, where the means of production are already largely owned by their workers. (AJ's family owns SAA, Rarity owns her shop, heck, Pinkie herself is arguably as much the owner of SCC as the Cakes).
Finally the whole thing came together because not only were worker rights so lax, but Russia also suffered a humiliating defeat, completely igniting the masses, something the M6 themselves largely prevent from happening in Equestria.
Therefore the need or circumstances that lead to the Red movement simply don't exist in a show-faithful setting. I understand you probably just wanted to write a silly oneshot and all the more power to you. I just think it's an idea fun enough to get more thought and nuance put into it.

Well sir, treason season started early this year when Canterlot had been infiltrated by local pony Pinkamena Diane Pie.
Rarity: Sweet Celestia.
Twilight: I told her that photo would come back to haunt her.
Could the Element of Laughter be a communist? Her family spoke out on her behalf.
Limestone Pie: My sister is not a communist. She may be annoying, a pig, a loony, a communist, but she is NOT a porn star.
