I don't know if there is a real correlation here but I found the theory very interesting. I found a paper that describes this in more detail.

Although the TRP Reddit community is devoted to helping men seduce women, a close reading of its definitional texts—its “sidebar”—reveals unexpected latent parallels with Marx’s theory of capital—albeit, recast in anti-feminist terms—coexisting alongside a manifest fiscal conservatism. Consistent with a pragmatist theory of cultural resonance (McDonnell, Bail, & Tavory, 2017), I understand this contradiction as a manifestation of cultural problem-solving: faced with accumulating evidence of late capitalism’s negative economic outcomes—such as economic crises, alienation, exploitation, and unemployment—yet evidently unable to question capitalism’s supposed benevolence, the sidebar discourse enables men to divert hostility away from their surrounding economic system and redirect it onto women.

TRP further enables this scapegoating by adorning women with characteristics that might otherwise be associated with the bourgeoisie or capital: in TRP’s account, women are exploitative, uncaring, profit-driven, and fetishizing. Although this projection of utilitarianism onto women justifies amoral sexual strategies (O’Neill, 2018b; Van Valkenburgh, 2018), it also provides a hidden curriculum insofar as it helps men superficially reconcile the contradictions of late capitalism and neoliberalism as a political/economic project and invasive ideology. Freud (1925) wrote that “the content of a repressed image or idea can make its way into consciousness on condition that it is negated” (p. 367). In the sidebar, the content of a forbidden image—the capitalist enemy—seems to make its way into the fiscally conservative consciousness on the condition that late capitalism’s pathology is negated, and that instead feminism is blamed for economic problems. Thus, TRP’s culture of misogyny is shaped partly by ordinary views about—and real-world problems associated with—late capitalism.

The similarity in the overall theory and philosophy, whereas in Red Pill the aim is more sex and in the Neoliberalism its more money.

Also Red Pill really took off after the financial crisis in 2008; could this be more than a coincidence.

What do you think?
