I replaced the "capitalism vs communism"ish dichtonomy with a neutral and NPOV reference to taxes and allowing private property. This is after all what is being measured, not wheter the user has chosen a red flag and a Marx quote for his slogan. -- |Knoot|KNOOtalk 18:16, 3 Dec 2004 (GMT)
I also removed the blatantly NPOV reference to "heavy capitalist bias". Any mention of capitalist bias is unacceptable, IMO and I will not play along with the wearing-out tactics of Constantinopolis. Fuck off. -- |Knoot|KNOOtalk 18:19, 3 Dec 2004 (GMT)
Oh my, how very friendly we're feeling today! Knootie, I'm touched - I didn't know you cared. And yes, I hate you too. I wasn't aware that you owned the wiki, though, or that you were the sole judge and jury of what is or isn't "acceptable". If capitalist bias exists, then I sure as hell am going to mention it. And I have plenty of evidence to back up my assertion. Sunset's calculator is heavily biased in favour of capitalist economies. Take a look at the following statistics I've compiled for various socialist, anarchist or otherwise non-capitalist nations:
| Nation | Commerce Heights GDP per capita | Sunset GDP per capita |
|---|---|---|
| Constantinopolis | $31,351 | $11,609 |
| SeOCC | $27,921 | $10,461 |
| Celdonia | $36,924 | $8,863 |
| Kerla | $36,101 | $9,143 |
| Free Soviets | $20,865 | $14,893 |
| Free Socialism | $24,920 | $13,204 |
| Xikuang | $35,048 | $9,139 |
No capitalist bias my ass. -- Constantinopolis 14:07, 4 Dec 2004 (GMT)
