While I think communism is partly a solution to removing proprietary
software companies and make it a state-owned affair, the current
"trend" of these politicians will make it a worse environment for free
software to thrive. They will all the more be interested in acquiring
software from foreign companies and launder money. I'm sure communism
will not happen in india, given the amount of damage US did to the
face of communism by pointing its fingers at badly implemented
communism in countries such as the Soviet Union, thanks to Stalin.
