In any case, I think a more valid analogy would be this one: opensource is like right-winger libertarianism, while free-software is more like left-winger libertarianism.

It's talking about (democratic) socialism not using force to implememt socialism which is true. They believe in voting to achieve socialism and change through democracy.
Vs. I guess ML 'communism' (socialism) which is a violent overthrow of the system.
