Waiting For Marxocracy
Welcome, and thank you for reading my book! This is a view into the political landscape of FOSS and IT as a whole. In this book, I explore concepts such as democracy, oligarchy and corporate interest with a FOSS spin to it. I also try to design an ultimate governing system for FOSS and IT as a whole. This book also serves as a manifesto of sorts, presenting clear ideas on how to run a project.
TL;DR
The optimal way of running a FOSS project is trough direct democracy, we should own most software collectively and not let ourselves get corrupted by oligarchs and big companies donating €10,000,000 to your cause (totally not because they want to control your project). If you just want to read a short summarization of my ideas, theories and the construction of Marxocracy: An ideal governing system, you are free to read the short manifesto at the end of this book.
How do you read this?
This book is split into different chapters, covering different problems and solutions of the FOSS-community. You are free to read them in non-chronological order, but I strongly recommend to read them in order. This book is also split into 3 different writing types and subjects, they are:
- FOSS
- Politics
- Philosophy
