Stallman obviously doesn’t need money to further his leftist goals, all he needs is blind disciples who want things for free above all else and you perfectly fit the mold.

Anybody here who believes that proprietary software is dangerous and will only use free software for that reason, please chime in. Anybody? Didn't think so.

Stallman’s own website http://www.stallman.org is perfect proof of what you’re supporting

You must be personally responsible for a higher Google ranking for that site since you link to it more than any leftist I've seen. With that link I went there for the first time ever just now (as opposed to you, an apparently regular visitor).

Yep, just as I said, whacko. But I can see a few things I agree with:

  1. A call against Yahoo for helping the communist Chinese government arrest truth-telling journalists
  2. Don't buy broken CDs (which might rootkit you)
  3. A campaign against Internet censorship
Do you disagree with any of those? Especially for #1 it appears you have the choice of being a "Stallman supporter" or supporting the Chinese dictatorship. Which one is it? Are you a communist or just a leftist whacko?

Of course you agree with Stallman’s website, here he is mentioned in a recent article pairing Linux up with foreign communists again:

http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/06/05/Red-Hat-assists-open-source-in-India_1.html

Red Hat is to help the communist government of Kerala, in southwestern India, to deploy open-source software in its e-governance and literacy efforts.

The Kerala government will make all efforts to develop free software, and will use free and open-source software in e-governance projects, according to a draft state IT policy released in January.

Richard Stallman, president of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) in Boston, was able to gather support from politicians in Kerala and West Bengal, another communist run state, during his visit there last year.
