Pundit Simon Jordan reckons Celtic and Rangers should refuse to foot the majority of Scottish football's VAR bill.
All 42 top-flight clubs will vote on April 19 over whether to introduce the technology into the Premiership and latter stages of the Premier Sports Cup.
Figures released by BBC Scotland on Monday broke down how the venture would be financed via clubs contributing a share based on league placings.
The top two Premiership sides will make the highest payment towards the expected £1.4million annual bill - with the winners paying 16.29 per cent (~£224,000) and the runners-up 11.67 (~£154,000) per cent.
Third place would contribute 10.03 per cent on a sliding scale where the bottom club would make up 5.63 per cent, potentially less if the SPFL follow through on a reported promise to find a VAR sponsor.
No side has come close to threatening the Celtic and Rangers duopoly at the Premiership summit in recent seasons and the likely outcome moving forward is the Glasgow giants - whose revenue dwarfs every other club in the country - would consistently pay the most.
But Jordan argued that just because they can afford to, doesn't mean they should have to.
He said on talkSPORT: "The feel that they (Celtic and Rangers) are, in part, responsible for distributing wealth or opportunities down to other clubs doesn't feel right.
"It feels like an element of socialism gone mad.
"But, by the same token, there is no money in Scottish football of any significance. Certainly, outside of the (Premiership) there's virtually nothing.
"I find it difficult to adjudicate on the basis that just because two teams are successful and have a big support base, they should somehow pay for something for other football clubs that will advance those football clubs or give them the benefit of something they should be able to pay themselves."
Instead, the former Crystal Palace chairman insists UEFA solidarity payments generated from either Celtic or Rangers qualifying for next season's Champions League should be used to foot the bill.
He continued: "If there's an abundance of cash that's coming in from European football money that can be distributed down.
"We're already seeing by Celtic or Rangers going into the Champions League group stage there's going to be a distribution of some money.
"Why wouldn't that be the money's that utilised then? Why should Celtic and Rangers pay for it?
"I'm not in favour of Celtic and Rangers paying for other clubs' benefits.
"The same clubs - who will say with good reason - who wanted Rangers ejected from Scottish football, reconstituted and kicked down."
