OLPC is Communist????

Global Nerdy covers this crazy article about the One-Laptop-Per-Child Program. Basically, it refers to OLPC as a communist endeavor and goes on to make accusations that sounds pretty preposterous. What next? The Ancient Greeks were really aliens? The author of why OLPC promotes terrorism has colorful comments:

It's not just their collectivist education philosophy, everything about the organization is rabidly communist

Like any communist organization, the OLPC suppresses dissent.

Most people can't even figure out how to open the box.

Note: It was pointed out, in the comments section of the article that someone bet the author a dollar to write a kinda of parody. Alright then, whew. It sounded pretty extreme if it was his real opinion.
