Or when one side insists that there is something inherently wrong with
everything about the other side when a mixed approach is one that can ever
pragmatically work, it's just a question of how it's mixed and what ideas
are included. I seriously doubt any of your customers are 100% capitalists,
otherwise it would be hard to make any real money. On the other hand,
socialist revolutions as naive because they can't hope to compete with
engines of capitalism... which is brutal, but works.

It's a pragmatic debate, but if anyone thinks that there will a socialist
revolution in open source, they are kidding themselves... On the other
hand, I do think that the trend is towards lower wages in general, and
little can be done to stem that going forward as many people have pointed
out. I see it in different markets all over the place. The money is
consolidated in the hands of the few, and the jobs are being globalized;
which means workers in developed countries are screwed as a group; some I
am sure will continue to find work... All we can really do is wait and see,
I am pessimistic on this affair...
