    I don’t think you understand what FOSS is. Its not a political ideology. Honestly neither is communism as it is a fringe belief.

      FOSS isn’t a political ideology itself, no. That’s like saying Mutual Aid or Worker Democracy aren’t political ideologies. Technically correct, but that wasn’t the point, all of those are leftist structures.

      Communism is a political ideology, and I don’t think it can be globally considered fringe. Perhaps in the US, but not globally.

        Well anyways I don’t think it should be allowed in this community. This isn’t a communist community.

          Everything is political, where do you draw the line? Where it doesn’t align with your views?

            Honestly we should just refrain from making political commentary. We all now that extreme conservatives are just as bad.

              WHEN WILL YOU PEOPLE LEARN THAT EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL?

              The libre software movement has the stated goal of making a political statement. Your decision to exclude discussion of a certain ideology in a certain forum is itself a political decision. It is turtles all the way down.
