As a person that lived most of his life in the Soviet Union, I'd like to tell that OSS IS communism. When I read at fsf.org this:
"There's no need to make anyone rich; the median US family income, around $35k, proves to be enough incentive for many jobs that are less satisfying than programming"
That's exactly what communism is. Everyone gets reasonable pay and equal share of goods and services.
You, folks in US, tend to think that communism is a lack of democracy. Communism, actually, is a lack of money making - business and greed are considered evil. Lack of democracy is just a result of it - communists need to suppress democracy to prevent money making tendencies.
