Can someone explain why this shirt:

is under hacker clothing? Is this a joke? Some sarcastic reference I'm missing? Please help my poor befuddled head :(

Rofl, while, of course, linux has nothing to do with communism, i think they're relating them because if you use linux your undermining capitalistic corporations such as microsoft and apple, since linux is free. Thus it leads into that ideology of free software, or software being noones property. By no means communism, but you can relate the two if you really want to go that far with it.
Hope that answers your question :)

Paraphrasing the movie link, thanks for that Uriah.

And thank you techb+vezzy for the pointing me towards the reference it's making, I may just have to watch this all the way through though...it looks kinda interesting.

Edit*
watched it and started laughing "you share for free so everyone can have it? isn't that communist?" SMFH

"this sounds too much like communism to be successful in Russia" when talking about Open Source...

I can't believe people actually think that way.
