They don't point a gun at you and force you to use it, you need to buy a computer just to install it, if you use it profitably there's nobody forcing you to redistribute what you earn, so no, it's not communism. Development is freely cooperative, nobody is forced to develop for it.

Linux is technique of the liberal kind embodied in software development. It functions as in a very similar way as a free market. Your confusion about communism mixed in with the fact that linux does not have a monetary cost is just pure ignorance masked in ideological fanaticism.

maybe if you are a faggot redditor whose worldview points are objectively wrong yet thinks is correct because they have been living in an echo chamber for so long, then yes, it is communism.

Otherwise it is closer to anarchy or anarcho-capitalism.

Yes—open source is communism and violates free market principles. Using Linux—or other open source projects—directly flouts the economic Truth: markets are the best and only way to fairly, democratically organize human interaction while maximally preserving liberty. In contrast, open source establishes a liberty-defying notion of a "commons" which prevents efficient setting of prices by a market—open source software should be abolished because it violates non-aggression by stealing from closed source developers.

this. you said what I would have said


but linux definitely isn't capitalist either. FOSS sits in the complex middle ground of capitalism vs communism debates. before the cold war many classibal liberal thinkers opposed both capitalism and communism. Nuanced positions existed that were pro free market and anti land lord/anti patent with focus on ownership/homesteading that no longer exist today.

>>109334459
Yes Linux is more like national socialism or the way ancient Inca civilizations were run. Communism is just some alcoholic Jew trying to take what others have. Linux is actually just people producing something voluntarily for the greater community. They're not being coerced to do this. They do it because they understand that everybody benefits.

Based, the whole "X is socialism" is difficult and ironically marginalizes anything anti-capitalist. Communists did this by monopolizing the term. Fascism and National Socialism do include socialist elements, it's just not marxist.

So is Linux communist? My schizo take is that communist thought leads to one-size-fits-all solutions like (smart phones, same production line for PC motherboards and servers, one OS made for everything), while fascists would be more likely to individually craft each device for a specific purpose (a dedicated gaming device, a work PDA, a casual desktop, perhaps even a device to store cookbook recipes on your kitchen counter)
Honestly Linux falls into the former category most of the time. And I'm a fucking neo-NS accelerationist chud. But it's not like we have many options. It's commie troon Linux or capitalist jeet Windows.
