You posted this on an open source platform built by volunteers without any hint of irony. ๐คก
If you seriously compare socialism with opensource then I'm sorry for you.
I'm huge advocate for opensource software and I can even say it's my life passion and I really know how important the relation between capitalism and opensource is.
You wouldn't have react.js without capitalism. You know what is made in react.js? Mastodon
They could have used different library for js. one made totally by volunteers, but they haven't. Why? Capitalism and opensource provide reliable products because there is a money factor and it fuels development

Constructive reply
When somebody thinks that something like react.js wouldn't be possible without capitalism, you can only laugh or cry. If you really can't understand that open source existed long before corps started messing with it, then you're an utter ignoramus not worth having a discussion with.
