How have I never seen anyone mention that Torvalds' dad is a communist? It all makes so much sense now.

Linus is literally the Tito of Linux. We're gonna witness the violent collapse of Nerdoslavia the moment he's gone.

I'm a 24/7 trvthnvke factory, nigga. I can't turn this shit off.

@animepfp well he is Finnish, of course he is a communist

@animepfp I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Marxism, is in fact, Marxism-Leninism, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Marxism plus Leninism.

Marxism is not a complete revolutionary doctrine unto itself, but rather the foundational philosophical and economic component of a fully functioning socialist system made practical by the Leninist vanguard party, the theory of imperialism, and vital organizational principles comprising a full revolutionary praxis as applied in the 20th century.

Many political commentators discuss a modified version of Marxist theory every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of revolutionary socialism which is widely critiqued today is often called simply "Marxism," and many of its critics are not aware that it is basically the Marxist-Leninist system, developed by the Bolsheviks and later the Comintern.

There really is a Marxism, and these regimes were using it, but it is just a part of the ideology they applied. Marxism is the analysis: the program that examines class struggle, historical materialism, and the labor theory of value. The analysis is an essential part of a revolutionary ideology, but incomplete by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete revolutionary strategy. Marxism is normally used in combination with Leninist organization: the whole system is basically Marxism with Leninism added, or Marxism-Leninism. All the so-called "Marxist" states of the 20th century were really implementations of Marxism-Leninism.

@Hoss @dagda @animepfp + 6 or 8 forks of the Linux kernel, total fragmentation of the software ecosystem.

+ At least two assassination attempts due to some troon nonsense and someone choosing to use other toolkits (heresy).

+ All breakaway software ecosystems that hitched their wagon to one fork or another will remain incompatible for at least a decade with other forks.

And at the end of the day, some forks will be bought by IBM + Microsoft, some will remain free and open source and the rest will die.

Thank you for reading my autism take on the future of Linux after Linus. If you disagree or have some ideas you would like to share, please share them with me. Just don't be a nigger about it.

@CapitalB @Hoss @dagda @animepfp I'm sure there'll be many groups forking the kernel, some of them might be even tolerable for a while.

Because Liberals and leftists can't keep their politics out of the projects they maintain, I could absolutely see this happening.

"I support Marxism as my revolutionary framework," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his threadbare armchair with a dogmatic gleam in his eyes, ready to theorysplain with extreme precision. "Actually," he says with a grin, "Marxism is just the analysis. You support Marxism-Leninism!"

I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I support a platform built on Marx's critique and early Leninist organization, but using the theory of Permanent Revolution as its strategic engine and proletarian internationalism as its organizational shell. It rejects the Stalinist doctrine of ‘Socialism in One Country’ entirely. It's Marxist, but it's not your Marxism-Leninism."

The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth, dropping his well-worn copy of State and Revolution with a sickly thud. As he writhes on the rug, he screams, "B-BUT THE REVOLUTIONARY VANGUARD WAS HISTORICALLY FORGED IN THE OCTOBER REVOLUTION! THAT MEANS ANY LEGITIMATE LINE MUST TRACE ITS ORTHODOXY BACK TO THAT EVENT!"

Coolly, I reply, "If a state uses the rhetoric of class struggle to build a nationalist empire, does that make it socialist? By your logic, the Third Reich's use of the word 'socialist' would grant it legitimacy." I interrupt his sputtering response with, "-and the Bolshevik party itself was the vehicle that carried out the revolution, but later became the bureaucratic shell that suffocated it. You conflate the revolutionary instrument with the revolutionary goal. Even if you were historically correct, you're philosophically bankrupt."

With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's ideological certainty is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp, a monument to dogma. I’ve Trotsplained him to death.
