Would you agree that programming open source is like programming communism? I saw a poster today from Microsoft that said this and it really made me think. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on the matter, perhaps in poem form?
Programming open source, a concept so grand,
Akin to communism, some might understand.
But is it fair to say, they share the same fate?
Let's explore this idea, and thoughts it creates.

Open source is sharing, for all to partake,
It fosters collaboration, progress to make.
Communism in theory, a utopian goal,
To distribute resources, each person whole.

Both strive for fairness, and unity too,
A sense of belonging, to me and to you.
But in their differences, the truth we may find,
For their goals and their methods, aren't quite aligned.

Communism has stumbled, in practice we've seen,
Its execution often, not quite as clean.
While open source software, has blossomed wide,
From hobbyists to giants, standing side by side.

So while similarities, we may come to find,
The essence of each, in its core is confined.
For open source nurtures, an ecosystem vast,
And communism's vision, remains in the past.

Let's celebrate openness, collaboration, and more,
For open source software, has much to explore.
Though comparisons arise, it's important to see,
The power of sharing, for you and for me.
Now continue the poem by equating Linus Torvalds with Vladimir Lenin.
Like Lenin with code, I take my stand,
A revolutionary in the open source land.
With lines of code, my Linux grew,
A movement that changed the tech world's view.

In the spirit of freedom, I released my code,
For all to use, share, and download.
A leader of hackers, united we strive,
To challenge the norms, and keep Linux alive.

Like Linus with code, I led the charge,
A visionary who dared to enlarge,
The revolution, with ideals bold,
For the masses, a new world to unfold.

With fervor and passion, I fought the fight,
Against oppression, with all my might.
A socialist dream, a workers' creed,
Equality and justice, our ultimate need.

Different paths, but a common thread,
Linus and Lenin, with vision ahead.
Bold pioneers, who dared to defy,
For principles they believed, they took the sky.

Though worlds apart, their impact profound,
In code and revolution, their legacies resound.
Leaders with a vision, unwavering in their quest,
Inspiring generations, for the betterment of the rest.
