Yeah. Linux is anarchist. Tankies don't believe in Linux because it functions without state ownership. They think it's a CIA psyop.

I'm not sure I agree with that interpretation, but that's at least an explanation for why they might be at cross purposes. Can anyone else who's upvoting the meme explain what this is about?

No? Linux is usually supported by leftists in general, especially considering the alternative is largely MacOS or Windows, both corporate spyware. Marxist-Leninist orgs like FRSO even use it as standard (check the bottom of the page).

Sure, I just think it's left plainly enough that people could read it and genuinely believe that, almost on par with people who think Marx wanted the same formulation of society as Anarchists, when Marx wanted full centralization and Anarchists want full decentralization.

One of the biggest problems on the Left is people speaking past each other or extrapolating analysis from out of context snippets.
