    Then why did almost all of FOSS predominantly start in capitalist, free market economy countries?

        Russia: a tsarist autocracy.

        China: an imperial monarchy.

        Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, North Korea: colonial or agrarian societies.

        Cuba: Batista’s corrupt military dictatorship.

        Has communism actually ever risen from a free market capitalist country? The other way happened a lot. Marx was definitely wrong about this one.

        As for FOSS, I believe the key is personal freedom, not the economic system that much. Linus just did what he wanted to do and he didn’t need any permission.
