I don't like seeing comments like the parent on HN. Instead of adding to a discussion of economics and poverty, it tries to distract everyone with politics and ideology by throwing around (rhetorically) loud, aggressive and unsubstantiated allegations, inviting a response on that level. Ideology and anger are not substitutes for facts and reason; they are threats to all the latter have built - as they have been for centuries - and a danger to us all.
