Subject: Marxist Theory and Free Software
Dave,
First Monday published an article by Johan Soderberg, where Soderberg
explores free software from a Marxist perspective. Soderberg is very
ambitious in his efforts to apply Marxist theory to free software
development. It is not easy to sum the article up in a few sentences, but
basically Soderberg sees software as a showcase of the productive force of
the general intellect, foreseen by Marx 150 years ago. Hence, production
becomes more social, thus the hacker movement can - according to Soderberg
- - challenge capital's domination over technological development. This is
interesting food for thought, even if you do not share Soderberg political
views on computer program development.
