>most Chinese/ East European contributors to Linux >(like the people working on Chinese versions of >Linux) believe or even heard of libertarianism? I live in Eastern Europe (Bulgaria) and there lots of peaple here who have heard of libertarianiasm! I'm not aware about the situation in China.
BTW freedom is the thing that highly centralized systems like communism are most afraid of. Freedom ruins them very fast and effectively
I don't know what ERS said about Chinese but if he really stated that it would be bad if Chinese used made Linux their official OS - well millions of new Linux users is good but on the other hand if they are forced to do this it's very very bad - Everyone must be able to make his choise!(even if we don't like his choise)
Most probably you have not lived in a country where your rights are higly retricted but it's awful. What if you were forced to use Windows :( The idea of the [open/free] software is to give everyone freedom!
