Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The federal reserve banks in the US are privately owned so even with your stupid definition of communism being "government does things" you're wrong. The fed is supposed to act independently of the government.
Privately owned and in kahoots with the government - in the USA. Other central banks are government institutions. They all force the tender upon those within borders and demand payment in that tender - taxes. A true Free Market would have market derived currencies that people would voluntary adopt. No force. The very heart of 'Capitalism', that being capital, is not free, not libre. It is captured by private and/or state entities and controlled. True, although central banks are a tenant of communism, the situation in the USA is more akin to that of Fascism - the partnership of state and private business. The term Capitalism itself in its original meaning, as defined by Marx, is what we would more likely now call Crony-Capitalism. We need to abolish Capitalism/Crony-Capitalism and embrace Laissez-faire. Libre Software and libre markets!
Oh wow you're just relentlessly stupid huh? Good luck with that
You should look into the word 'tenant' and see if you're not trying to say 'tenet' half the time
