I would tend to agree with this. But I was trying to get at
a clear implication in Raymond's speech. Remember when he
said something to the effect that your "dog knows more than a
lot of modern political theorists"? He was tarring the people
who see political signifigance in open source as kooks.
Whatever their political inclinations and opinions, anyone with
half a brain will acknowledge that politics and economics are
inseparable. Libertarians, like their dogs, tend to miss that
point.
