The analogy would play out that a state or state-owned enterprise is the (sole) provider of an operating system for its people. That doesn't exist.

However, there is a hardware company on par with that idea...

Linux is actually more conservative since it forces people who modify libre (GPL) components to post modifications to the community.

So if meme ideologies that don't work are ruled out, what is Linux if not communist or libertarian?

Stallman is not communist whatsoever though if you actually listened to him talk or read anything he's written.

He supports making money off selling software, however he wants the end user to not be placed in a proprietary prison they can't break out of because it will lead to dictatorship. His philosophy is anti monopoly, anti censorship of any kind, anti tracking, and pro control over one's own individual destiny to be able to read whatever they want and do whatever they want without an invisible shadow state interfering of private corporations that jail users in their walled gardens.

Nobody gets Stallman right now because they are naive, but Prophet Stallman can see the future, and he knows that there are only 5 major chip makers on this planet that will be developing architecture of the future. That's Taiwan Superconducter, GlobalFoundries (middle east holding corp), Intel and Samsung. Eventually GlobalFoundries is going to buy one of these others. Then there will only be 4 left on earth and they are free to develop chips that solely exist as system-on-chip with all proprietary, crypto signed software that can never be altered or changed. From there the path to totalitarianism is simple, keep taking away freedoms of the user and replace with spying and DRM. Eventually we will be back to the late 1970s, where nothing was free, everything was proprietary, and access to information was finely controlled by governments and their lobbyists.

Stallman saw this future in the 70s and now tries to prevent it from happening, then some faggots come a long and claim he's a commie because he doesn't support the total destruction of mankind via technological slavery.

Although if you want to make a closer example then books, science and information fall into it. Books (both informative and fantasy) are still sold even in digital formats and they're nothing more than information, just like software.
Wikipedia as a site is even free + libre and extremely popular. It is community driven and gets funding and donations which proves that libre standards can exist perfectly fine even when they aren't exclusively paid for.

>>62223524
False. It's only if you modify and try to redistribute. You can do literally whatever the fuck you want as long as it's personal. Try that shit with proprietary software.

Isn't it ironic that the proprietary software developers call us communists? We are the ones who have provided for a free market, where they allow only monopoly. … if the users chooses this proprietary software package, he then falls into this monopoly for support … the only way to escape from monopoly is to escape from proprietary software, and that is what the free software movement is all about. We want you to escape and our work is to help you escape. We hope you will escape to the free world. The free world is the new continent in cyberspace that we have built so we can live here in freedom. It's impossible to live in freedom in the old world of cyberspace, where every program has its feudal lord that bullies and mistreats the users. So, to live in freedom we have to build a new continent. Because this is a virtual continent, it has room for everyone, and there are no immigration restrictions. And because there were never indigenous peoples in cyberspace, there is also no issue of taking away their land. So everyone is welcome in the free world, come to the free world, live with us in freedom. The free software movement aims for the liberation of cyberspace and everyone in it.

>>62223191
But everything that has to do with communism has failed.

Also Linux is free market capitalism (not that I am very fond of that) and it can not exist within a state trying to creat communism, as a free OS is a threat to the dictatorship.

Not everyone knows how to compile software or has the time to do it. This is especially true for medium/large corporations. So companies who produce FOSS can sell precompiled binaries to customers who would rather have the convenience. The textbook example for that is Red Hat with RHEL. Admittedly it's not a common business model but it has been proved to work pretty well.

Our lord and savior:

'Absolute nonsense. It makes me really angry when people do that. Communism is an ideology that forces people to share, if you don't share you get thrown in jail or killed, you go to a gulag and end up in a mass grave with a bullet in the back of your head. Open Source is not communism because it doesn't force people.'

Linux is a fucking OS, get your fucking /pol/ bullshit in your containment board.

>>62233573
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
