- objectivetruth 5y agoThe HN "mob consensus" is that anything even vaguely hinting at socialism or communism is ungood, and anything explicitly condemning capitalism is doubleplus ungood. It's totally safe to ignore the people who respond to this with "there is no 'what HN thinks about X', HN is just a bunch of different people..."
- loopz 5y agoThey like many of us now, dare speak up against the official dogma of the day. However, most will argue capitalism has proven to be the most efficient way to allocate resources correctly. So it's quite unclear how to ie. incorporate externalized costs into the system, without breaking it. Accountants make for terrible leadership.
