    Actions done in relation to politics are political. That’s how it works. If someone is against the motivation of an economic system or a state, that is politically driven.

    Just as you are against socialism is political, being against proprietary software is as well.

    Reaction to the status quo, both against or for, is inherently political.

      There are two ways for humans to interact: voluntarily, with consent, permission, through agreement and contract OR through force, coercion, mandation & compulsion.

      Politics employs the later. When the former is violated it can require self-defence. FLOSS is a legal (not political) self-defence.
