The capitalist mode of production is the current one, in which we have to live and work. So the discussion is not at all abstract. We need to defend our income and benefits and our open source community (the historic Google Verizon move to create a tiered internet is what I'm talking about) while avoiding union bureaucracy by simultaneously struggling for a change, to place society upon new social foundations.<div>

So I am trying to fathom how the open source model could help the rebuilding of society without the exploitation of man by man. Something which is not just a nice pipe dream but rather a dire necessity.</div>

Over 90% of my clients, the consumerts, are capitalist, as are those of my associates. Serving the consumption of capitalism via socialist production I cannot begin to fathom!<br>
