It all started because he was shitting on the NY Times for being an ad-ridden mess where you have to call a human in order to cancel your subscription. Someone called NY Times woke communist propaganda and Linus went nerd rage on them.

Ok but does he actually have the right opinions? Because the NYT is an imperialist capitalist rag. Like I would love to find out that Linus is genuinely a Communist but I would hate to find out that he's just a Liberal who calls himself a Socialist because he's confused about what the terms mean
He's a Finnish millionaire so he's closer to demsucc than ML but even demsuccs can shut down reactionary assholes. I don't think he would spew propaganda uncritically though like most liberals.
Europe is a weird place politically compared to the US.
he writes like a liberal twitter user so i'm going to go with liberal.
This is pretty clearly a socialism is when roads conservatives owned type individual
yeah. aka a lib :(
Maybe he doesn't have the time to form the correctTM opinions about everything that exists in the known universe. I just look what he's doing and has been doing for the last 3 decades: writing an open, free and secure operating system that everybody can use. Linux is IMHO the proof that something like communism can work in the real world. Nobody owns it and you thousands of people work on it from all around the world. If people can collaboratively write software together then we can theoretically do everything together. Also: our modern world wouldn't be possible without Linux. It runs everywhere. Windows is just on a tiny fraction of all computers.
Even putting the sheer scale of Linux aside, the greater open source movement is literally software socialism. And open source is in literally everything. Even the overwhelming majority of proprietary software at least relies on OSS libraries.
