Well said. My last blog post one here was 2 months ago and I basically wrote how economism or rather the ideology of material wealth being everything, underlies the collective culture worldwide. It's been an ongoing process and accelerating for the last couple hundred years or so.

I think this is the main problem with libertarians and free-market oriented folks. They forget that modes of thinking and behavior underly freedom and humanity is controlled by it. There are deeper things at the root then getting rid of the State and letting markets work. The issues of dominance and hierarchy still prevail in a "freedom" atmosphere as shown here and the pursuits of other entrepreneurs. It does seem that Steemit is a manifestation of this, thought I'm not totally sure.
