I am the furthest thing from an Anarchist, but to deny that Anarchism influenced the ideas of Open Source Software is factually wrong.

> I am the furthest thing from an Anarchist

I know this is beside the point but I'm quite amused by this statement. Are you saying you're a totalitarian? I'm not trying to poke at you here; I'm genuinely interested what you consider the furthest thing from an anarchist to be?

From an Anarchist perspective isn't any state necessarily totalitarian? But I do believe there aught to be a strong, patriarchal, centralized state with strict laws and severe punishments. I think Singapore is close to an ideal.
