This is going to sound a little stupid, but in a scenario like that I like to try to blend in with ultra-capitalists. As it turns out, really positive socialism/communism (just sharing in general basically) is pretty much the best way to do capitalism anyway.
Basically, I excel. That's what I'm doing at my current job. Getting qualified in 2 weeks instead of 6 months, doing extra work etc etc. right. Then, once you've established yourself as being someone "worth" listening to in the eyes of your capitalist bosses/coworkers, you just start relentlessly defending people. For example, they wanted to fire one of my coworkers for calling out too often so I basically sandbagged for a shift and then talked to my lead about how I just felt really shitty all day about her situation and they talked to HR for her.
After a while, people will start to think of you not only as a great worker, but as an advocate for them. They will look to you for guidance. They will listen to your opinions. You may not gain authority, but influence can be just as powerful
And the best part? If you get 3 months into this plan and go "man fuck this I'm just gonna coast" you've already established yourself as an influential, well taught individual which makes it way easier to coast. No one wants to fuck with the person who showed up and revolutionized shit by being Superman for a bit
Edit: plus you can more easily weaponize your work. Sandbagging is only effective if they know what you look like at 100%
