I was very interested in replying this topic wherever on the internet, but this was the first place I found which I&#39;m able to comment in, so, thanks for so, anyways.<br /><br />Most of you have serious problems understanding the facts by yourselves and beyond of your government&#39;s opinion.<br /><br />It&#39;s stupid to discuss that GNU (Linux) resembles a communism. I know its power stands for the great community members developing Linux at their own rythm and for their own or the common interests, rather than a software business. But remember that the main GNU ideology says that free software (libre) is the only way to give users the freedom for using, sharing and modifying software!, which is totally true and even a big point in common with the freedom that capitalism is supposed to offer.Isaac David Reyesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930004102572847909.post-63731704634156319902011-03-04T00:59:42.250-05:002011-03-04T00:59:42.250-05:00It&#39;s important to realize that many things in life can be &quot;communist-like&quot;. A perfect example is a family with lots of kids, where the parents (&quot;dictators&quot;) have most/all of the money, and they decide exactly what their kids (&quot;the people&quot;) can and can&#39;t do. The kids get &quot;free&quot; food and housing. Despite this, most right-wing conservatives love family, and believe that &quot;family comes first&quot;. If they can love family, then they can love Linux.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930004102572847909.post-31814746422155330992010-08-01T09:03:17.253-04:002010-08-01T09:03:17.253-04:00It is true that Linux and open source is communist, but no one cares because it is free or at least that is what they think. The open source movement is a push to get rid of proprietary software. The licensing eliminates property rights which is the basis for freedom.

Given that, I think it is time to classify political systems in a different scale. At the end, extremes on the left and right side will lead to totalitarianism. While always battling left and right, people should rather start to think about the other dimension, liberties vs. oppression, agency vs. structure. <br /><br />If you like freedom and agency you like GNU/Linux, if you like someone else to pamper you and give the opportunity to blame your own faults on someone else, choose the other options ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930004102572847909.post-88152640518229582232009-07-29T13:31:20.857-04:002009-07-29T13:31:20.857-04:00Hm, actually, modern USA is more of a &quot;communist&quot; state than one might think. Pledge of allegiance in public schools? Being taught to trust the president and not to question his decisions because he knows the best? This makes M$ a part of the system, not GNU.<br /><br />But, since the word communist has been demonized it makes for a perfect way to bash GNU, or anything else not approved by The President for that matter.

We care about the rights of people and having those same rights for everyone. We care about the needs of the many. We enable.<br /><br />This is not a bad thing. I think America has really been turned on it&#39;s head to it&#39;s own detriment. Socialised services such as healthcare haven&#39;t existed in America where as in just about every other 1st world country see this as a basic service. If we chose to share the knowledge, source etc. then isn&#39;t it a right within &quot;the free world&quot;?<br /><br />There is a difference between socialism and communism however.

They force third party software devs to open their source code, and this results into no third party software for Linux.

I have heard Linux supporters saying slogans like &#39;We the People&#39; and &#39;E Pluribus Unum&#39; (which is some kind of communist hacker code for many people joining together in one strong united effort).<br /><br />But do not worry. Our glorious leadership, located at One Microsoft Way, has a five year plan called Longhorn that will resolve all current security and usability issues!<br /><br />What? The glorious leadership has already shipped that as Vista? <br /><br />Don&#39;t worry, the glorious leadership has a 5 plus 3 year plan that will resolve all usability and security issue. Of course as we all know, there are no usability and security issues with the OS produced by all of the previous 5 year plans. All problems are due to those communist Linux hackers.<br /><br />They keep trying to support Open markets when the glorious leaders understand we need closed proprietary markets that are enforced through government granted IP laws. Those Linux communists support Free enterprise, when our glorious leaders know that we need very expensive enterprise.<br /><br />&#39;One Microsoft Way&#39; is more than an address, it is a way of life. Don&#39;t question the leaders. They know what is best for us. All planning should be from the top down as the leaders know best.Sean Lynchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16196715129586398563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930004102572847909.post-24570446976690357362009-07-28T07:09:47.127-04:002009-07-28T07:09:47.127-04:00Many extremist-left winged minds really believe that Linux and the FOSS are in their camp... but the reality is that Linux is in the camp of Freedom, and Freedom is the opposite to totalitarism. And anybody knows that totalitarism is the main characteristic of BOTH extreme-left AND extreme-right winged &#39;camps&#39;.<br /><br />Furthermore, right and left wings are really obsolete, the real distinction should be about Freedom-lovers and Freedom-haters, and all the middle positions in between.<br /><br />Whether you like it or not, people will continue to use BOTH commercial AND opensource software, depending on the case and their preferences. AND there is NOTHING you should try to do about it... in fact there is nothing at all you can do about it anyway!<br /><br />Linux is the son of Free Market (and Capitalism): <br />When there was only commercial software out there (well it was never ONLY commercial sw really), a chain reaction of freedom started because there were (some/many) users(consumers) AND developers(providers) unhappy with the software market status quo. And because there was Freedom (to act) and the Internet, Linux came into being and the general FOSS idea gained real traction.josvazghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09204784941994204120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930004102572847909.post-12021104375010771612009-07-28T06:51:20.066-04:002009-07-28T06:51:20.066-04:00Too funny....and yes, I know people with brain cells that can&#39;t think any differently. :DTechnoslickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13069000976978486936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930004102572847909.post-21895002119904752482009-07-28T06:19:27.118-04:002009-07-28T06:19:27.118-04:00Oh my goodness.
