They in fact do not. One can be conservative and support FOSS. Saying that is a over generalization

[-] Cowbee@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Leftism is about collective ownership of the means of production, whereas Capitalism is concerned with individual ownership.

Supporting FOSS over Capitalism is a leftist take.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Cowbee@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Cowbee@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago

Well I don't like it so it shouldn't be here.

tell me you're a conservative without saying it lmao

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago

Call it what you wish but I will never associate libre software with communism

[-] uis@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

Capitalism is concerned with individual ownership.

So USA is not capitalism? Because it is country with most anti-individual and anti-ownership practices.

[-] Cowbee@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

It's one of the most Capitalist countries on the planet, and is filled with individual Capital Owners that employ Proletarians.

Then explain patent trolls and general "you will own nothing and pay for it".
