Congratulations, you’ve just managed to advertise the exact thing you oppose. I would likely have given zero attention or thought to Omarchy today if I hadn’t seen this thread.
Also, I just read that “The Omarchy Doctrine” page; if someone seriously thinks that is a “fascist creed”, then that is very interesting. About the person who thinks that. If someone could help me figure out what part of that is supposed to be outrageous or especially controversial, I’d appreciate any help!
Omarchy is bringing that ethos back, and dropping the Code-of-Conduct struggle sessions and identity-overload nonsense that has plagued open source for far too long.
granted, i think the red alert website is misinterpreting the essay it cites, which analyses Omarchy overall as a fascist movement rather than the specific doctrine page
“Heritage is duty” refers to the heritage of computing, not of human beings. Completely non-outrageous in context.
“Command is service”, ok, that explains why Omarchy isn’t a democracy. I think many other FOSS projects aren’t either, so I don’t see anything outrageous in that either.
And you may of course disagree with their opinion on “Code-of-Conduct struggle sessions and identity-overload nonsense” (not words I would have used). Many completely well-meaning people hold different opinions on those topics.
To elaborate: Struggle sessions only refer to, of course, the 20th-century Chinese Communist denunciation rallies. Branding code-of-conduct enforcement with an explicit reference to communism and the emphasis on identity politics clearly asserts belief in the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory.
OK, I wasn’t familiar with that term; TIL. Again, it’s not terminology I would personally have used; calling it a “fascist creed” over that still sounds like an exaggeration.

Not like that. There is a difference.
