The dotCommunist Manifesto （开源共产党宣言/自由软件共产党宣言） Eben Moglen* January 2003 A Spectre is haunting multinational capitalism--the spectre of free information. All the powers of globalism have entered into an unholy alliance to exorcize this spectre: Microsoft and Disney, the World Trade Organization, the United States Congress and the European Commission. 一个幽灵，自由信息的幽灵，在跨国资本主义间游荡。为了对这个幽灵进行毫不神圣的围剿，“全球主义”的一切势力：美国微软公司（Microsoft）和迪斯尼（Disney）、世界贸易组织（WTO）、美国国会（U.S. Congress）和欧盟委员会（European Commission），都联合起来了。 Where are the advocates of freedom in the new digital society who have not been decried as pirates, anarchists, communists?
