I’ve made an entirely valid and civil criticism of another posters utopian musings, and all you’re interested in is trying to figure out how you could twist it into being against the rules. Why don’t you contribute something to the conversation instead?

You posted a well-worn ideological trope. HN is no place for those. If it helps, that's not because we're communists. We moderate the same way when people want to drag in "property is theft" or any of the other dead horses.

Such arguments are always the same and only interest a small minority of HN users who want to yell at each other while calling it "ideas". These threads get dumber and nastier as they grow, and drown out the quieter, thoughtful things we actually do want here. Therefore we have to moderate them. Intellectual curiosity is a fragile thing, like a garden that needs protecting from off-road vehicles.

Perhaps you're the rare person who really has something original to say about political ideologies, and I missed that in your HN comments. In that case I'm sorry for misinterpreting you. Nevertheless an internet forum is not the medium for such ideas—even if you're deep and original, others won't be, and the space is too constrained for all but shallow comments on grand topics. So if that's the case, you should write a book instead.

It seems that you might be unaware that the user 'dang' is a moderator.

I know who Daniel is. We’re all free to disagree with the moderators, you know?
