I saw someone on one post arguing that we 'don't want Steemit becoming a commie haven'. Now, bearing in mind that in mainstream US discourse anyone slightly left leaning is a 'commie' we'll assume they mean they don't want Steemit becoming a social democracy. Well, as far as I see it, a group of powerful people with capital work together to gain influence, followers and more capital. They then invest that power, influence and capital in themselves. They do not distribute it equally among the populous. They do not hand it out to those in need. They do not give it to the deserving. It is not a utopian dream, it is exactly a reflection of capitalism. Wealth inequality rises, the richest few are greatly richer and the poor are left to beg at the side of the road for scraps. That is not revolutionary, that is not even reform. It's the same damn neo-liberal system. Go Bernie.
