Socialism

It’s an interesting question. I don’t think I’d say it’s inherently socialist, as that’s a fairly strong statement. I would say, though, that FOSS really shows humans’ ability and desire to create useful things outside of the profit motive. That we are not slaves to “rational self-interest” and without the profit motive, nothing will ever get done. I think that dovetails nicely with what we know a socialist society can be built on.
