to be fair , neither the free software movement nor the open source movement (which are distinct ideologically) are explicitly socialist . in a way , especially the free software movement , they embody an extention of liberalism .

both of these movements focus on the individuals freedom and take issue not with developers/companies being systemically incentivized to develop closed source / nonfree software , but with individual developers/companies doing so . thus the solution taken is limited to the individual not to systemic change .

All this "communism is fascism" bullshit is as toxic as "if you vote for 3rd party your voting for trump".

Fucking liberals.

Isn't "communism" essentially authorianism? I'd love to see true communism in action but humans tend to be too flawed to give up all that power.

Authoritarianism is an empty label since it's used against one's opposing ideologies. Rarely if ever is the inherent authoritarianism of the current or any system of government acknowledged.

Communism is a free market scenario, just in gift economy form.

It’s the centrally-planned socialist intermediary system that has produces the hell on earth we associate with fascism in the past.
