And also, @fsf, while we're at it, lemme let you in on something else:
Your refusal to part ways with him - despite well-known incidents that have pushed women & others out of free software for decades - might have been ok 10 years ago. Maybe even 2 years ago.
It's not ok now.

I think there are pretty serious underlying problems in the open comm as a whole. There'a lot of work to be done to retheorise open. We need to rethink: * Decolonisation * Value of Labour * Theory of Change * Dismantling Structures of Power * Co-option of Progressive Rhetoric
-
There should be more communists in FOSS, if you think about it.
-
Yeah I don't think that's a fair thing to put on the communists. Clean up the community, get the values right, and commies will join in. There's a reason they aren't there, and it's because fsf and foss aren't lefty communities or causes.
-
why foss and fsf can't be "lefty" communities or causes? ps.: I'm actually not with Stallman on all that shit, he should be at least banned from MIT, of course. but I don't think the same about his conquests on doing GNU and copyleft/foss philosophy
-
Mainly the misogyny, colonialism, and racism. All underpinned with a water thin veneer of morally questionable legal theory. Take care of that and then they might be lefty movements and orgs.
