I read something in one of the comments for an OSNews posting a couple weeks ago that sent me thinking. It wasn't an original or profound thought. In fact, it's a rather commonly-held opinion that happens to be quite misguided. It's an opinion summed up by the "open source = communist" meme that gets thrown around in thousands of flamewars all over the internet. In this essay, I will explore why this idea is wrong and demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of economics.

Westerners' horrific idea of communism is resulted from the constant propagandas. If you really know what communism is, you won't be so scared of it, because there is nothing to be afraid of, communism is simply concerned with improving the well being of the whole society, which is a good thing.
Plus, you shouldn't be sared of it, because it won't work anyways any the the shadow of human nature.
