Socialist government stuff? I think free software is important to a free world, just like free speech.

Everybody must be allowed to make free software if they want, and everybody must be allowed to make proprietary software if they want. There will always be those two types of software.

In fact, proprietary software is younger than free software. In the beginning of computing, there was only free software.

If you want to talk about socialism, then you should target the European Union for their plans to make public investments in software more valuable to their population by preferring investments into free software. It's just like government paid highways.
