I felt important to repeat that socialism does not work since we keep reading people advocating it. That is not generic, that's quite the crux to the issue here

I felt important to repeat that socialism does not work since we keep reading people advocating it. That is not generic, that's quite the crux to the issue here. I maintain the term "red guard" because that's exactly how they behave. See the reactions to me daring to contradict. I am very surprised that a moderator would take side and use a rather rude and condescending tone in replying to a commenter that hasn't do anything beyond voicing a legitimate point. Is that what HN is for?

I'm sorry that my comment sounded rude and condescending. I try to avoid that, but haven't yet mastered the art. Generic ideological arguments are simply off topic on HN. If you like, you can think of that as an arbitrary moderation decision. I think of it as following from the site principle of curiosity. Either way, please don't post any more of those.
