Conclusion

As open-source ideas move through the sharing based access of networked systems, open-source can be attributed to its connection to democratic ideologies. If governments / industries role is to control the people under its command then free speech, sharing, and freedom are tactics against the strategy of control with in that ideology. Strategies require power structures to evolve around them, but power and control in excess equals Fascism. The internet and the power of open-source as strategy or tactic is being explored in every aspect of society, government and business. The hope is that open-source as a strategy does not lead us down the fascist road like the warning given to us in George Orwell's book : 1984. The internet and the ideas of open-source thinking explored through Choose Your Own Adventure Books (choice in narrative), the collapse of the music industry production and distribution racket (Radiohead’s In Rainbows success), and the use of open source software (Firefox web browser) can be attributed to tactics in the power struggle of fascist ideologies.
