You personally cant draw comparisons between two separate systems? Seems like a limit of imagination.

Always cracks me up to see people who champion open source alternatives hate on communism.
This isn't about "drawing comparisons" this is about how you don't understand why someone would champion open source software and hate on communism...because of course people hate on fucking communism, you dope.
It's proven time and time again that communist governments bring suffering to their people. Like, some fucked up shit. Like starvation, inequality, and lack of basic human rights.
Whereas open source software can be educational, build cost effective solutions for people and businesses, and empower people's lives.
You see the difference?
