You pretty much nailed it. Some of these steemit people think that there job is to make the playing field fair as that is what they believe their version of a 'free' market means. In reality free market means that things can and probably will be unfair for some due to limited financials. At the same time things rebound and they will also receive a chance of the pie. Socialists don't think think the world can work without their intervention. New Agers, free thinkers and anarchist capitalists believe that their is an equilibrium that will always balance itself therefor we don't feel the need to intervene.
