Back in college I was pretty heavily involved in the local LUG (organised events, President for a while, etc.), and it didn't take more than a few year's experience to teach me that the politics of the Free Software viewpoint might have been morally right, but were practically useless in the liberatory sense. Unless FOSS stocked away enough capital to liberate *itself*, it could never do enough to build the sort of high-level managerial systems that would allow it to compete under capitalism.
