I'm with you on this... The whole article just seems like insidious, communist take over of what other people create.

It usually starts with a Code of Conduct decree.. it ends with people who don't actually write software acting as authoritarian dictators in a software banana republic.

The other thing in the back of my mind is the Jia Tan situation with XZ utils, that was a gentle and gradual social engineered takeover.

Why it would be specifically communist?

Communists have little respect for other people's independence and want to control their labor, usually collective your farm/factory or you are shot is their MO. Capitalists rely on voluntary exchange of labor through payment.
