Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been nothing but honest. I think Lenin interpreted Marx's teachings and works largely correctly and implemented a revolution and sate based on that understanding. I believe Mao interpreted Marx correctly and built a state based on that interpretation.
I think the critical flaw of Communism is that it lacks the ability to self critique. Instead of something like the "USSR failed to achieve Communism because of X, Y and Z which we can correct by changing...." it says "those weren't in any fashion even tangentially related to Communis, anyway let's do exactly what they did again...." Comversley, other forms of governments don't require such religious undertows and can support significant disagreement and discussion on how to build a society.
"I've been nothing but honest."
Oh, see when I saw 80% of your reply explaining why literally being bonobos wouldn't be helpful I got the wrong impression. Isolated this reply sounds more serious but, addresses assertions I never made.
We can incorporate self critique more easily than ever with the internet. Blockchain perhaps, since I'm not even sure whether or not I'm arguing with a time wasting ai, lol.
Bonobos can be so peaceful precisely because there's so few of them. Advocating for building a society around modeling them requires a drop in population.
