Servers aren’t free, you know. Just ask your instance owner. And even if you can get manage to somehow get your hands on free hardware you still have to pay for electricity and an Internet connection.
You’re making it sound like starting a business requires a minimum capital of a million dollars or something, when the actual barrier of entry is likely far lower than that.
You’re continuing to abstract further and further away. For Lemmy, there is no IP, the structure is free to use. For Reddit, it isn’t. Property Rights are a Capitalist notion, rejecting it is Socialist.
On the contrary, I’m trying to make it more practical in order to show you that “real” communism doesn’t exist anywhere except in theory.
In the real world, you almost always end up with a mixture of both socialism and free market capitalism. In fact, FOSS has done a great job showing that commercial success is possible without putting the profit motive first, even in a primarily capitalist environment.
FOSS is a rejection of Capitalism, the success of FOSS is the success of leftism.
Real Communism of course hasn’t existed yet, even if a Socialist state existed at the time of Marx, Communism still likely wouldn’t exist. It can only exist globally, and after far more industrialization and automation has occurred. Socialism, ie democratization of production via worker ownership, is absolutely feasible.
You’ve done nothing but prove everyone else here correct, you don’t actually know what you’re talking about and reflexively take a contrarion position to anything leftist, without actually thinking it through.

You have nothing of value to add, just dodging.

Okay, I get it, you’re just going to keep spouting propaganda material no matter what I say.
Okay, I get it, you’re just going to keep dodging and refusing to make an actual point no matter what I say.
