WP:SOAPBOX; for reference I support social democracy and agree with the general sentiment, and still think this is ridiculously preachy for a Wikipedia userbox. Dronebogus (talk) 21:18, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's an economic argument. Certainly valid to disagree with it, but what is so objectionable that it needs deletion? If we're going to apply WP:SOAPBOX to any wiki-unrelated opinion stated in a userbox, that should probably take the form of a bigger RfC. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 21:26, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I count myself among the critics of capitalism, but I believe there are far more direct and concise ways to show that, instead of userboxes like this one. It is overtly preachy, and too long for a normal userbox. —Sundostund (talk) 22:08, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete as we already have plenty of userboxes that aren't as long and preachy. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:06, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The whole point of deleting a userbox on the basis that its content is objectionable is that the content is objectionable. If there wouldn't be grounds to remove the same content if it were written on a userpage outside of a userbox template, what's the justification for deleting it here? Is "there are better userboxes" really a reason to delete something that's in use by a bunch of people who chose this one? We need a reason to delete, not just an absence of a reason to keep (although a userbox being in use provides a bit of inertia to that effect). &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 03:12, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - Being preachy is annoying, but not reason to delete, only reason to complain.  Robert McClenon (talk) 04:08, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, there’s actually WP:SOAPBOX… Dronebogus (talk) 06:43, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Reasonable userspace expression.  No valid reason to delete.  —SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:02, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
