I'm surprised to see so many left-wing views on HN. I thought most hackers were libertarians.

I'm surprised you see them as "left-wing".

Are these "left-wing" too? * http://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2014/05/inequali... * http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/05/24/is-piketty-all-w...

I was referring to the comments you often find in political threads on HN.

Many libertarians seem to have issues with 'capitalism' because they argue that our market isn't free enough (if I understand correctly). Pikkety's research, I suppose, can be used within that ideology too. So it might not be just a left-wing thing.
