You might be right about all the local or Indian, 'stains' of the communists.
But fundamentally communism is about collective ownership and freeing
resources from private ownership, say, the idea that all the Land
should be owned by the state, very much akin to what FOSS is doing in
technology.
The concept ought to be good. Even though we despise the label called
'communism', we can take what is good from it. You know the biggest
mafia/exploitation is in the real estate business.

Their policy is to oppose crony capitalism and american capitalism. So
promotemay oppose Microsoft since it is allegedly using backdoor means to
their product at the cost of pubic money.communist philosophy is not FOSS philosophy.
and I hope FOSS is not the opposite of capitalism.
Also, every bit of IT technology we enjoy today is mostly the result of
American capitalism.

Unless there is some political backing it is not possible to persuade TN
government to install Linux and include Wifi in free laptops. Among the
allies of ruling party, CPI is the most likely party to support us in our
fight against "windows only" policy. At this moment there is a coincidence
of interest in opposing unfair priority given to Microsoft windows. It
doesn't mean that we endorse all their political views and philosophies.
Yeah, suggesting an opportunistic partnership.
