> But, if you're an American, commenting on HN in this way then you're probably a male libertarian, and would consider state run education paid for with progressive taxes as un-capitalist
How did you reach that conclusion?
- ZeroGravitas 11y agoBased on the fact that they claimed that the problems with America was that it wasn't capitalist enough and the fact that US-style libertarian opinions are over-represented in this forum. There wasn't enough detail in the post to be certain of anything much. I agree that America is more oligarchy than capitalist, as does, I believe, the author of the original article, and the commenter. But I'm guessing that there's a lot of differences in the exact solutions we'd all propose, and the norwiegen model doesn't seem popular in the US or with posters on HN who seem to have a worked out political viewpoint.
