Russia: a tsarist autocracy.

China: an imperial monarchy.

Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, North Korea: colonial or agrarian societies.

Cuba: Batista's corrupt military dictatorship.

Has communism actually ever risen from a free market capitalist country? The other way happened a lot. Marx was definitely wrong about this one.

As for FOSS, I believe the key is personal freedom, not the economic system that much. Linus just did what he wanted to do and he didn't need any permission.
