Stallman is strongly left politically. "T" in GNU Taler stands for taxable.

Then.. .fuck Stallman I hate commies.

Stallman made a lot of correct predictions and did a lot of useful things. I respect him for his contributions even though he's among my political opponents.

Any commie have nor respect from me. I survived 20 years of communism, I know very well what am I talking. Commies are a disease, no matter how nice they talk.

Is Anita Posch also a disease?

If she defend taxation and any other commie crap, then YES. Who wants all that crap, I invite them to live in a communist regime for at least 1-5 years. Then we can talk again.

You're making the fundamental commie mental operation, "collective responsibility": this person is somewhat like that group of people and that group did something bad therefore this person is also bad. Don't be a commie, don't subscribe to collective responsibility. Neither Stallman nor Posch want to put you into a gulag, and Stallman probably significantly contributed to us not getting there.

You have no idea how these things work. As I said, if you want to be a commie, just go and life in a fucking communist regime and see how is it. I did, I survived 20 fucking years... not sure if you understand what that means, because you never saw how is it.

I suggest to watch and listen carefully the whole interview with Yuri Bezmenov, that explained decades ago how the western civilization will be conquered by commies with intensive propaganda.

after you watch it we can talk

OK, I'll watch it and come back to you. Meanwhile note that Stallman was a victim of a woke witch hunt mob, which IMHO makes it unlikely that Stallman is a conquering type of commie.

I guess he also never understood why anarchists like FOSS.

The word free is quite messed up in the English language. He rightly distinguishes between free as in free beer from free as in freedom, but free might also include free from governments and oppressive rulership.

In his mind big cooperation are evil but Western democracy are not. However big cooperation not really serving customers anymore are not possible without the latter (also called fascism). That is missing in his considerations.

Many people are confusing "freedom" with liberty".

Freedom means this:

Meanwhile liberty means practically a privilege for citizens. Only sovereign individuals can have freedom. Citizens have "liberties" aka priviliges.
