Actually there is a connection to the GP's post and it is is *very* relative.
Although Mandriva is a French-Brazilian company the GP was speaking about Corparatisim vs. Community, a subject that that defines the arc of Mandrake>Mandriva. I think most would agree that the US is the most extreme example of a corporate society.
"Duval said that last year Mandriva CEO Francois Bancilhon asked him to leave the company. Instead, Duval agreed to move from his long-time position as vice president of communication to head a new "community department" intended "to improve Mandriva's image in the open source arena." Now the company has terminated that effort.", community vs. corporatisim.
Gael Duval started Mandrake as a very community oriented Distro that drifted increasingly toward a business structure as it sought to achieve self-suficiency.
I agree that the GP's post was a bit of a rant, but I also believe It was related, and essentially correct.
And for the record my parents were business owners, and I am a business owner, here in the States.
