      I don’t know if you joke or not, but thinking finnish = communist is too far away from any truth. I lived and still live in an ex-communist country and let me tell you: nothing Linus says or does is communist in any way. Socialist? Maybe! But that’s a different discussion.

      1. He’s not Finnish, he’s a Swede from Finland. Please attribute the nationality correctly.
      2. He’s not defending communists. He just points out that ‘woke’ is a word used in a spiritual context, which doesn’t make sense with communism. The header of this thread is a clickbait. Read the article again.

      EDIT: He’s actually a Swedish-speaking Finnish guy, mea culpa.

        Torvalds is Finnish by nationality, he just speaks Swedish as his mother tongue. That’s not uncommon in Finland.

          In Finland they have bilingual street signs. Where the majority is Finnish-speaking, the signs are in Finnish first and then in Swedish. And in places where the majority is Swedish-speaking they have signs in Swedish first, then in Finnish.

          To the best of my understanding cultural “!identity” is nort relevant at all there, and nobody really cares.

        1. Finns are arch enemies of communists. Show a finnish guy a hammer and sickle, and he’ll … you.

          I’m sorry but that’s just nonsense. Finland had one of the strongest communist movements in Western Europe during the cold war. Large swaths of Finns happily voted for communists in elections for decades.

          I might add that Linus’ father Nils Torvalds was a card carrying member of the Finnish Communist Party in the 1970s.
