This is so reductive. Open source has nothing to do with communism.

As a socialist, I would disagree.

Communism is about a would-be utopia after the workers own the means of production.

For us tech workers, it could be argued that the means of production are source code. Thus, there is a socialist aspect to open source - but that's a good thing!

The means of production are computers, no?
