the inernet IS communist or at least getting there i mean you can get almost anything you want(in the context of software) as long as you know where to look

it works on the internet, but would you like to see a currency free communist world like star trek in real life?

Commies, in MY internets?
It's more likely than you think

Srsly though, tonights homework is commuism, look it up and come back to class with a 3 page essay on how currency-free star trek world != communism.

You're thinking of Utilitarianism like the Tau in Warhammer 40k

>>1 Thank you for doing your impression of someone who doesn't know what he or she is talking about.

It's not like CNN.com is saying, "Hey! Click this link for free Photoshop software!" or anything like that. To get this software, you have to look for it. It is still illegal (if they can catch you at it and then prove it; fat chance). This is not communist, this is still very much capitalist.

Communist = everything is owned by everyone and costs nothing.
Capitalist = everything costs something so try to save money any way you can.

Got it? Good.

Sounds like a ringing endorsement of communism to me.

 That's a decent definition of Communism, but not so much on Capitalism. (In truth, almost everything costs something, for various definitions of "costs")

 When Thomas Hodgkin coined the phrase "Capitalism" it had a very specific meaning:
 Capitalism is the leveraging of financial power (Capital) to exploit resources and labor for the production of profit.

 It's only in the twentieth century that certain capitalists have tried to muddle the definition to mean "The Free Market" and "Not Discredited, like Socialism, which is Discredited!" and "America" and "Mom, Baseball, and Apple Pie.(TM)"  (Why would you argue against that? I bet you kick puppies you evil commie!)
 It's worth noting that pro-free market anti-capitalist thinkers have been around for over 150 years.

"The price of Freedom is eternal vigilance. The price of a heavy-duty free market is watch your wallet, read the fine print and always count your change."

In Soviet Russia, comedians laugh at YOU.

And then you are shot for being careless with your time.
