Hey @fsf - fire your President and Board Chair. He just sent an email to the MIT computer science community claiming that sex with an underaged girl is not rape.
I know you know about him and his 'problematic' ideas already.
Just letting you know that WE KNOW.

The problem of free software is that it is treat not just as an ideology, but as the only ideology that matters. On my side I've been dealing with people who think free software is more important than opposing fascism. No surprise the same shitty attitude extends to other things.

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.
