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.

Lenin and Stalin were both communists. Both Lenin and Stalin were supported democratically as well. Trying to dismiss communists by claiming we are all brain damaged is deeply ableist.
Do you have an actual point beyond accusing communists of being mentally disabled?
I'm well aware of all the fake Communists out there. I hate them so fucking much.
I do object to those last two statements, though. They've been intentionally miseducated and indoctrinated by the government; cultivated to not think critically, to question nothing, and support whatever they're told—basically, they're brainwashed.
P.S. btw, why is your username "antianarchist"?
Which instances are part of this flotilla? Which are opposed to it? Why is all of this so complicated? (That last one isn't a question, but rather an expression of mild frustration).
Huh‽ Reagan dismantling the confederation‽ Are you talking about the former president Reagan? Ronald Wilson Reagan, 40th president of the United States of America?
