Synching with a palm a free way

[David Huerta]

Even so, the inevitability of the creation a hierarchy makes it more
powerful a dictatorship when you consider the lack of economic choice,
where every material thing is controlled by one entity.  It's a lot
easier for human nature to create a dictatorship when everything but the
dictator is already in place and people have no other economic sources
to choose from.  So Microsoft would be less like ideological communism,
and more like its real-world application.  If other Companies must be
compared, Apple would be more like a theocracy, with subjects held
united by a common loyalty.  The open source community would be sort of
an anarchy, without a central anything but a bunch of nodes forming
loose networks with each other.  Sun would be like Luxemburg or
something.

True and I'm not against communism when it's done right. That is 1, no
single person greater than anyone else and 2, the people are happy. 
Communism with a dictator isn't really communism, it's a dictatorship.
