This is perfectly normal.
Open Source does not stand in opposition to western Capitalism, but
rather is an integral weapon of western Capitalism against what
remains of small scale meaningful relationships.
Kindly lay off the mumbo jumbo worthless key words like 'progressive
movements'. There's nothing progressive about open source and for that
matter there is nothing progressive about progressive.

OK, now that you have successfully hit everybody and everything on the block,
what now ?
As mentioned above, Open Source is another front used by western
Capitalism to infiltrate + subjugate the '3rd world' + whatever human
remains are still found in the '1st'
There are so many 'theories' written about 'Open Source' that one more
doesn't really matter, does it ?
Open source is simply another keyword, another front, in the long line
of superficial western concepts whose principle results have been the
new + improved degradation of human existence.
Yes, I agree, 'Open source' has become a buzzword. But in how much that
affects *us* (the actors) depends mostly on ourselves. Hasn't that always
been like that throughout history ?
