Yes, you are.

Your paraphrasing is out of context and switches meanings. I am not going to even quote as you conveniently didn't quote that paragraph.
> He wants to convert (I'm quoting the article) the "important resource" (read: people 'unspoiled' by Windows) to free software
Yeah, so? He wants Free Software. Nothing new.

This is a very pathetic and childish hyperbole. You are the equivalent of the Fox News crowd for software.
(That's a hyperbole pun.)
Stallman declared he'd rather see computer clubs closed than using Windows. He wants to convert (I'm quoting the article) the "important resource" (read: people 'unspoiled' by Windows) to free software (just like Che Guevara who went to Africa to convert people unspoiled by capitalism to the ideal of communism).
So I rest my case: as far as software is concerned, he is a totalitarian.
