> Politics is not allowed on HN

Nothing in the guidelines says this. What it does require is "thoughtful and substantive" comments, particularly "as a topic gets more divisive."

This is ridiculous wrong and demonstrates a profound lack of insight into both the history of economics[1] and the current political calculus.

Please don't use rules as a cudgel or at least have more tact doing so.
