Would you please stop with the political and ideological flamewar on Hacker News? I've lost count of the number of times we've had to ask you this. I've even lost count of the number of times we've told that if you keep doing it we'll ban you. It's not what the site is for, as you should by now be well aware. Please stop.

It’s because social democratic and socialist and communist are thrown into the same bucket by some people. So anything that deviates even a little from the status quo will be compared to Venezuela or Stalin Russia. It’s a tried and true method to kill unwanted discussion
