The number of marxists I've met in the free software world is sufficiently (and depressingly) small that it seems odd you'd feel they pose any kind of threat. Did you mean something else?

Similarly to the question of how many pieces of post-digested food it takes to ruin a punchbowl, only one is required to destroy a formerly-effective project.

Which projects have you seen destroyed by Marxists?

I still use it, but Firefox/Mozilla seems to be dying.

As a European, I find it depressing how much of our world is being destroyed by Capitalists, not Marxists.

And, like mjg, I suspect that *true* Marxists (and Communists), ie those who actually understand and follow the teachings rather than the rather too dominant perversions, would actually be very welcome on many projects.

Unfortunately, it looks to me very much like Karl Marx's prophecy that capitalism would destroy itself will soon come true. The problem is that it looks like it will take a lot of the world with it ... :-(

Cheers,
