Linux basiclly is communism lol
Last time I checked it wasn't state funded nor controlled by the government
"Socialism is when the government does stuff. And it's more socialism the more stuff it does. And if it does a real lot of stuff, it's communism."
Never said it was
Last time I checked anarcho communism is a thing as is anarcho syndicalism.
Communism has nothing to do with whether something is state-owned/funded or not, although I see how someone can come to that conclusion, especially since that is how it has been implemented before.
The basic definition of communism can be defined by the definition of capitalism, as it is an idea that was created as a direct contract to capitalism, much like how capitalism was an idea created as a direct contrast to serfdom and monarchy.
Capitalism: "An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development occurs through the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market."
Communism, by contrast, would replace private ownership with public ownership. This can be implemented in any number of ways, but my favorite idea is Prof Richard Wolff's idea to force corporations to become worker-owned cooperatives, which is already a business model that exists. You've probably bought things from worker-owned coops without even knowing it.
Government ownership is only one definition of public ownership.
