#32HN is removing things that are 'libertarian' but not things that are 'socialist.' If socialist content is on the table, then libertarian content should be as well. When an article about a Libertarian movie reviewer on LetterBoxd was flagged and removed from Hn yesterday within minutes... https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/society-reviews-letterboxd-b...
Why is this even so high on HN? This isn't interesting news -- it's both a wikipedia page and propaganda. We're told to eschew flamebait in comments, but not for submissions? Flag this. > Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-top…
is it propaganda because you don't like the message?

#33The sad thing is that with a few changes (swap the top tier for politburo, next tier for the communist party, etc.) a similar pyramid applies to communism.
«In capitalism, man exploits man. In communism, the opposite is true.»

#35For modern day US, the structure of the pyramid is upside-down. The folks at the top get the big plate and the folks at the bottom are all reaching to foist up the small plate, which keeps the whole thing afloat. How long can our current structure last before it collapses?
The size of the plate here isn't the amount of wealth, it's the number of people on that level.

#36> closely based on a Russian flyer I'd be really surprised if this were not Russian propaganda.
From the article:
> The work is based on Nicolas Lokhoff's 1901 caricature of the Russian Empire hierarchy by the Union of Russian Socialists.
A pie-based version, for those who remember Bush declaring his intent to make the pie higher:

#39One surreal aspect of the modern system, when viewed from the perspective of 1800s leftism, is that there are many programmers (laborers, technically) who have more money than the average landlord. How do you draw the pyramid then?
Is true when normalized for localization? Is the average landlord in SF wealthier or poorer than the average programmer in SF? Is the average landlord in NYC wealthier or poorer than the average programmer in NYC? I don't have figures, so I honestly don't know, but I wouldn't bet on the programmer.
Of course if you work remote with an SF salary, that's a different story...
