Anyone who thinks that getting rid of capitalism will get rid sexism and racism need to take a hard look at the horribly toxic cultures in the open source software communities.
Free Software is one of the only areas of advanced technical production that operates via free associations and cooperation, rather than being controlled by the property owners / IP owners. Free Software is unowned. The culture is often worse than any capitalist company.
The Linux Foundation is undergoing controversy for trying to introduce a code of conduct with such radical feminists views such as: "Using welcoming and inclusive language." "Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences." Every HR department had stronger standards.
Giving control of production to the people, workers, or public will not make those people good. The "evil capitalists" are not the only ones with agency in the world. Everything isn't a plot to divide the workers, workers are perfectly capable of being horrible on their own.
Open Source maybe, but Free Software is a different matter. Free Software is far more community-focused.
the thing is: our culture is part of capitalism. when we say we need to end capitalism to end oppression, we mean we have to build everything from scratch and question our principles as a society, not merely have experiences within the system
Wait, do people seriously think sexism and racism is caused by capitalism? That's almost endearingly naive.
Speak for yourself. While I agree with the thesis that discriminatory/shitty behavior would not cease with capitalism. Duh! There are a lot of cool, safe spaces within the FOSS community. It's not a monolith. Can you illustrate that the FOSS community is *specifically* heinous?
