I avoid use of 'left' and 'right' when talking politics. Although it is
a shorthand, it is very crude one, and I think it is intentionally
polarising and therefore unhelpful. Most people I know have pretty
common interests, and the political left(sic) nor right(sic) come
anywhere close to reflecting them. I listened to an entertaining radio
show today on the fact that left and right are not actually opposites at
all: http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/53140
Enjoy?

Hi list!

The following is a modified version of a point I'm trying to make in
the CSPP journal list. I reacted to a call for papers which IMHO

projects too much left ideology into peer production namely Free
Software.

I do not see that relationship, there are people form the left and
from the right in FS Movement.

I thought it might be good to share this here.

For instance there is often the illusion that in Free Software there
are no institutionalized forms of power. Well, someone who believes

knowledge is a source of power
