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.

These are anti-capitalist ideas.
Come on back with some more Wiki links, good buddy.
Dubliette is referring to the thought-terminating cliché that every major US party doesn't want to abolish capitalism (the economic system centered around capital, private ownership, etc.), ergo we're all liberals.
I dunno how you can terminate a thought that never began
