The author falls into the false dichotomy between libertarianism as the far right and socialism/communism as the far left. (There's a link above the title that leads to another article by the same author that equates the GPL with communism.) There are indeed a lot of right-wing libertarians in today's tech scene, but I also see a lot of left-wing libertarians here. If you have warm fuzzy feelings about Universal Basic Income, for example, you might be a left-libertarian. Left-libertarians support a strong social safety net to establish a safe minimum, as well as a relative lack of regulations on what you can do once that minimum is reached.
