What’s with all the downvotes?

Saw a few threads get blasted, and a de-federation post - did I miss the drama?

    I put it this way:

    I want to maximize the level of equality in our societies. I want a floor of poverty below which a citizen cannot fall and a ceiling of wealth beyond which a person cannot rise. I do not think the tested and failed ideas of a 19th century philosopher are worth putting more time and human misery into.

    We can do better, we SHOULD have learned something in the last 100ish years.
