It is funny that you can see the bias in FT's politics in the descriptions they use.
For example, the trickle-down description genuinely reads as if written by a supporter of that economic theory in that it frames that theory in a positive economic light.
Meanwhile the socialism one is written by someone intending to mock socialism and isn't even accurate to socialism. It is more a descriptor of communism than socialism.
- bo1024 5y agoThat caught my eye too. The others all looked reasonable (including Marxism) but the socialism one sounds like a caricature of an ignorant facebook post.
- chipotle_coyote 5y agoYeah, that one didn't quite work -- I was trying to think of what a better one would be. I think the proper tone is parodying what someone who believes this might actually say, and they're fairly on the button for the rest of them. Something about the page's utility being made redundant through common ownership? (Economic jokes are hard.)
- gorgoiler 5y agoMy read of the trickle-down one-liner was that it was taking the piss just as much as any of the others, FWIW.
