On: The Soul of Man under Socialism

[dalke]

I agree with olalonde - you haven't even read the essay. It argues for the abolition of private property. It's hard to have taxation if no one owns anything.

I agree with brvs - you don't know what you're talking about. A picture of Wilde and information about this essay are even mentioned on WP's libertarian socialism page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_socialism - Wilde

Please don't say personally aggressive things such as "you haven't even read the essay" and "you don't know what you're talking about" in HN comments. It's bad for both signal/noise ratio and personal civility, the two things we care about most here.

It's striking how informative and polite your comment suddenly becomes if one simply deletes those phrases and nothing else.

Understood. You're right, and I will bear that in mind.

I forgive you. Apologies from me for my misunderstanding of the article and subject.

I took a big karma hit from it, but I'm a big boy. One of Odin's chosen warriors to fight Frost Giants, so it didn't hurt very much.

Thank you. And thank you also for saying so.
