I kind of think the opposite, that people will basically end up at whatever social status they would be regardless of system so he would just have modern day elite views (instead of mainstream modern day elite views of his time).

Just like people today who think they would have resisted the nazis in 1930s Germany but hold all mainstream opinions in the modern day
