    Linus Torvalds is a “full-blown woke communist”? Citation needed.

    I have been a FOSS enthusiast since my preteen or early teenage years (mid-to-late 2000s), yet I am not in any sense a communist.

        Nah literally anyone who advocates for basic human rights is a “full blown woke communist”.

      His dad was a straight up member of the Finnish Communist Party. He’s still alive, and is even a member of the European Parliament, but seems more liberal/centrist these days.

      Linus himself seems to be pretty mum on politics.

      I think the dates are more relevant than the software. COVID pandemic was probably more impactful here than Linux.
