Firstly, I have to say, THIS is the reason why I love Nostr and hate Twitter. Twitter just seems to make everything into an hyper aggressive argument, even the mundane, but here in Nostr, I don’t know why but ppl tend to be mostly respectful lol 😂. Love it. Thanks for the positive engagement.
Back to your point. I totally understand what you’re saying, but I feel you may not understand what I’m saying. Capitalism fundamentally is about ownership of capital and private property rights. This leads to one being protective over their ‘capital’ especially in terms of the desire to acquire more. Socialism, on the other hand advocates (at least on paper) the abolition of private property of the means of production seeing them as a collective right to all.
Open source is more in line with that idea than the idea of capitalism. I admit and agree, open source can lead to one accumulating capital, as we use a join shared resource to acquire capital, I get that, but that’s secondary. Even in socialist USSR ppl still earned money and did shopping and spent money. But the means of production was still socialised, which is what I was eluding to.
As for the idea of “force and government coercion” then that’s just western propaganda tbh. I understand it as I was also raised in the west and exposed to the same propaganda, but if you scratch the surface of it you realise it’s no different than any other system in that regards.
