I can't see how you can make that inference. Capitalists, Communists and Clowns can be ordinary people. There is nothing that I said that would exclude ordinary people from being whatever they can be, however, that they should be ignorant is a desireable outcome in the minds of a *few*.

I don't give a hoot about politics and as far as I know I'm not even on the electoral roll at the moment. It's a shame people feel that way about politics because ultimately that's where the power to decide lies: if you don't like the rules of the game--you can change them. I still think that Why RedHat Sucks is a bad name for a pro-Linux page, regardless of whether it was written by a capitalist or a communist. Ahh yes, divide then conquer your enemy. It all starts with a label and then you get people to stop listening to the substance of the argument. Would it surprise anyone that the anti-GNU/Linux forces have confederates among us?
