Cyber-Communism: The New Threat in the New Millennium :: social issues

Cyber-Communism The New Threat in the New MillenniumMy expedition into cyber- fabianism began when I read Brock Meeks Hackers Stumble Toward Legitimacy1. The article addressed a recent hackers congregation. Interestingly, the keynote speaker was Eric Boucher2 (alias Jello Biafra3), a rock star with no proficient background. Numerous questions ensue. Who is Eric Boucher (alias Jello Biafra)? What does he believe? More importantly, why schedule someone with no technical background to speak at a hackers convention? Addressing his beliefs, his proposed Green Party platform4 is not inconsistent with the Manifesto of Libertarian Communism5. This answer produces a more troubling question. Was his speech against corporate America mere collectivistic babbling or was his speech part of something more sinister, a subversive cyber- communist movement? I am not the outgrowth to see possible communist subversion of the digerati6. Corey Winesetts Are Linux Users Really Communists?7 questions th e nature of the relationship, if any, between open source and communism. Scott Billings Heresy and Communism8 ponders that the Linux communitys knee-jerk reaction to negative opinions about Linux could be the result of macrocosm under the communists spell. Before I can evaluate cyber-communisms merits, I must define communisms true nature and communisms real threat to America. Communism Revisited Theoretical communism and practical communism have long been held as different political sociologies. Despite Marxs call for the working class to revolt, the communist revolutions leaders always muster up from the intelligentsia. John Stormers None Dare Call It Treason supports this fact saying Fidel Castro was a product, not of the cane fields of Cuba, but of the halls of Havana University. Joseph Stalin was not a simple peasant rebelling at the oppression of the Czar. He became a communist while studying for the priesthood in a Russian Orthodox seminary. The membership of the first Comm unist spy ring uncovered in the U.S. Government was not spawned in the sweat shops of New Yorks lower east side or the renter farms of the South. The conspirators came to high governing body posts from Harvard Law School. Communisms fallacy is the belief in everyones benevolence yet, human nature proves otherwise. Communism cannot create a perfect society with liberal people. Hence, to direct Utopia, communism produces a totalitarian government over the less-perfect people, ruled by the perfect people - communists. Thus, communisms true nature creates a controlling government in the name of a better world. Not every supporter needs be a knowing conspirator.
