Thanks @richq11. I think there's room for negative opinion, as disagreement helps us reach consensus, but you're right, dictating what something is worth is in fact Communist behavior.

I think they intended to create parity in a way that profits the Steem cryptocurrency, but failed to create countermeasures for abusive voting, such as sybil attack. When it comes to voting power, they've created a trickle down economy. Unfortunately, trickle down economies do not have parity, and give room for the powerful to dictate the actions of the poor.
