       "Intellectual Property" is an oxymoron. Patents hinder human progress, not help it.Knowledge modules are like radioactive LEGOs. Horde them, and they're of limited value to you, and everyone else.Combine them freely, and raise humanity to another level with an intellectual boom!Get past capitalist greed!#FSF #GPL #CreativeCommons #FreeSoftware #IdeasWorthSpreading #IntellectualProperty #intellectual_property #law #LawFedi #Anticapitalism #anticapitalist

       @ashwin It seems you've swung the net a bit wide there.The concept of imaginary property is more of a communist thing, as it's about the government enforcing a series of monopolies for a selected elite class (i.e. party members, or approved businesses), no matter what, even if the actual profits in the end for everyone is negative, while capitalism without external government influence tends to focus on maximum profits without pushing as hard to sabotage other businesses.https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html

       @ashwin what is an oxymoron, is wanting to protect people's freedom by opposing intellectual property (agree) with wanting to take people's freedom to exchange goods and services on the free market (capitalism) very hypocritical and irrational, and just dumb
