- m0zg 8y agoThat's a wrong way to look at things. I wouldn't have any problems with what you said if you rephrased it as "as long as very poor people exist..." Socialist/communist revolutions have repeatedly shown that merely eliminating "the rich" leads to some very tragic outcomes for the poor down the road, complete with starvation, GULAGs, and millions of people dead.
- dang 8y agoCan you please stop posting generic ideological comments to HN? Regardless of which ideology or how right you are, they lead only to tedious topics about which no one has anything new to say—plus flamewars, which is what we're most trying to avoid here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
