I don't think Stallman's political views are that extreme when you consider that a lot of free software advocates are actual communists.

I think deep down all people are communists - they all like things for free.

I disagree. Just because people like free stuff doesn't mean they want to force others (and themselves) to provide that free stuff. Some certainly do, but there are plenty who don't.

But people are "forced" to work anyway, free stuff or not.

"Forced" by human nature (hunger, cold, etc), but not forced by other people.
