    Open source is anarchist socialism. This whole platform works because socialism works. The internet is made up of protocols that people aren’t required to implement but do because they’re good ideas that are well thought out and work and were created without force or threat of violence like threatening the right to sue for damages even. Bad ideas get worked on and fixed. Look at Wayland in Linux, a complete volunteer driven effort that got funding because it was a good idea. No one forced all Linux desktop environments to switch from x11 because a new law got signed, but instead volunteers were like “thank you for fixing x11 in your free time.”

    But nope, property doesn’t exist, guess it’s broke!

      I’m not sure why this showed up as a reply to me looking up Zappa’s politics. Zappa was Zappa.
