I've seen so much confusion between the two, at first I thought it was trolls, but it's so consistent that I've begun to wonder if they actually don't understand.

Communism in practice. Communism the theory is impossible. There's conflicts in society, what happens if a worker doesn't want to work in communism?

IBM was doing open source in 1952, 23 years before Microsoft was founded. You should really do some background research. To get you started, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_free_and_open-source_software

Since you didn't disagree, it sounds like we both agree that the FOSS movement is compatible with communist ideals.

Only the theory impacts the founding of the FOSS movement so communism in practice is irrelevant.

I've been talking about the FOSS movement this entire time, which dates to 1983. IBM only started interacting with the modern FOSS movement in a significant way in the 90s per https://www.ibm.com/opensource/story/
