Linux Is A Socialist Plot
“From each according to his ability. To each according to his need.”
The above is often given as the socialist credo. However, it is much older than socialism. It actually appears in the Bible in the book of Acts, describing how the early church functioned. It also describes how Linux functions. What they both have in common is that the Bible and Linux are parts of a larger socialist plot.
How many times have you seen Linux websites ask for donations, in terms of service, time or money? It is a common occurrence. It is just like the church. They want your money. Each person is asked to contribute to the common good according to their ability to contribute. Most people take a pass, but it is the principle that stands. So, is Linux a socialist plot? Is this the thin edge of the wedge? Is their goal to topple capitalism, starting with, that bastion of monopoly capital, Microsoft?
Many people who don’t call themselves socialist would love to see Microsoft de-throned, forced into submission or even wiped out. Those sentiments run deep, but it is mostly misguided jealousy. But are we unwittingly playing into the hands of socialists when we think this way?
