The submitter took the word 'Marxist' out of the title when submitting it, but I think this was a good move, in keeping with the site guidelines: "
Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." -
https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.htmlThe problem is that you can't say "Marx" without instantly triggering some people into ideological flamewar. That's boring and we don't need that.
The current title seems like a fair balance because it doesn't fundamentally change the point, and when you go to the article itself you can learn that it means "commodity in the Marxist sense", or something along those lines.
