If you think about it Linux is a form of communism. It can be seen as communism as such. Linux programmers work with each for the greater good just like true communists. TRUE COMMUNISM is a really good system, i prefer it to democracy, what Russia had wasn't true communism and since then its had a bad rap. Ppl not in the know are ignorant to it and believe what the US govt says.
However opening minds up to communism is like opening windows users minds to linux! Think about it.

Ok, well I just think about shit like free speech and government oppresion in China. I suppose Russia did give a bad name to Communism.
US would have similar problems, but they would be greatly reduced. Im having trouble believing in China as a great nation to live in.

Free speech in America is over and done with. Nowadays the only people who are truely protected but the 1st amendment are those who can afford big lawyers. communism/socailism can be really good things, its just how radically it was/is implemented in China, the USSR etc that caused problems. Overly radical Capitalism is just as bad. If the purist capitalists got their way, the nation would end up like Brazil where there are a few uber-rich people, and masses that are in poverty. No wonder that support for Socalist ideas is skyrocketing in South America. Linux and open-source certainly don't hold true to capitalist ideals. They believe that everything should be bought and sold, that business is everything, and that the concept of sharing ideas is sinful. Totalitarianism certainly is not true communism.
