From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

Just wait for the next stage as a libertarian socialist, without a leading communist party, because we can take care of us ourselves - it's usually called anarchy (which doesn't mean no social norms, just self-organisation without leadership)

I considered myself libsoc but not anarchist for a long time. Still kinda do. I believe in the ideal of a classless, oppressionless, non-hierarchical society, but I'm not out there living that ideal and doing praxis.

If all it takes to belong to any political movement is simply to claim you belong regardless of what your actions say, I don't care for nor want your meaningless, substanceless labels. On the other hand, if it takes participation, then spending my time arguing online about whose ~~fantasy football team~~ political philosophy is better sure ain't it either.

Either way, I'm probably just another lib with lofty aspirations. My best hope is that someone reads this, goes "you know what? That jaded shitlib has a motherfucking point!" And then logs out to go be an anarchist instead of just throwing the term around.

That first link doesn't work but the second link comes up as a result when I searched for "the librarian socialists library".
