Wasn't Torvalds' dad member of communist party?
Yes, and was a member of the EU parliament until recently. Both his parents were pretty radical. Linus tends to keep his politics private for the most part.
Maybe so, but children don't always adopt the ideology of their parents. They usually do, but not always.
