As a member of the community I think we should not be thinking about Socialism and Capitalism quite like we generally do. Instead of Capitalism being a belief system maybe we could approach it more as a natural law. If you make money and other resources (capital) available for some thing more people will do that thing more. Restricting capital for that thing and less people will do that thing. There will still be those that will do it out of enjoyment or need but the will be less incentive. We are social beings and work together to get things done as well. Public works and services are usually something we work together to get done. They are things we want cannot or do not want to be responsible for as individuals. So, we work together. As far as Open Source Software... If you are using something support it (as an individual). If the OSS does not exist you can do without, do it yourself, or pay for it. If it is something that is widely used some sort of official public support could be important for everyone and should possibly be subsidized. Relying on a single method for everything will just lead to unhealthy outcomes (both systems have plenty of examples of poor outcomes).
