Every comment in this thread is ideologically driven. It seems that if you don't want people commenting with political opinions, there shouldn't be political submissions.

As far as substance goes, how is my comment less substantive than the top comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15575704) on the thread? I said that it was foolish to consider protesting fascism to be worse than fascism, and that commenter said that protesters should be expelled. They're equally substantive comments that express opposing views on the issue in from the article.

>Oh dear, these left wing protestors taking a microphone sure is comparable to fascists actually killing people.

Give me a break.

I do want to sound like a Marxist, but for individuals it grants them an inordinate amount of power. If you want power that's a very desirable fact.

Germany has strong unions and a corporate structure known as codetermination in all large businesses that helps balance the power between capital and labor. Those two qualities, along with a monetary union that they dominate are the causes of their prosperity, not some phony value difference.

Yes he is. The S&L crisis and the global financial crisis are both largely the product of his ideas.

Actually, communism is a materialist tradition, meaning that most of Marx's works were critiques of idealist nonsense like Austrian Economics.

Why is CPAN not a viable replacement? It has always been perfectly viable for me.

If you don't support neoliberal fantasies, your comments probably aren't welcome here.

Braum's just cut the size of their burgers and their shakes aren't as good anymore. I'm so disappointed in them.

Varoufakis is a hero to the international working class. His most recent book before this one is also excellent.

New comment by IslaDeEncanta in "A Closer Look at North Korea’s Ullim Tablet"

The government of North Korea is one of the two puppet dictatorships established in the Korean peninsula after World War II. It was the will of the Korean people to establish a socialist democracy, not a Juche dictatorship, but in 1946 the USSR and USA decided that what the Korean people wanted was the least important concern. The point is that it wasn't the ideology of the Korean people that mattered, it was the clash of 2 imperialists and its result.

The US dropped more bombs on North Korea than we dropped on all of Europe and Japan during WWII. Proxy wars between superpowers never work out well for the actual people affected, and we should not be so forgetful of that.

I didn't ask how following around a concrete worker could be dangerous.

How is following police unsafe for everyone involved?
