I’ve seen so much confusion between the two, at first I thought it was trolls, but it’s so consistent that I’ve begun to wonder if they actually don’t understand.

    Wow - that is pretty extreme. That doesn’t totally surprise me though - FOSS is also very leftwing and it seems to apply to most of the tech communities. Not sure why - maybe they see the whole world as a huge algorithm and that inequality is a bug that can and must be fixed (top down approach). Unfortunately the world isn’t predictable and human nature isn’t compatible with communism and only societies that thrive due to capitalism can absorb some socialism. I don’t know any poor society that used socialism to get itself out of poverty. It is always capitalism that does the trick.
