Borrowing notions from chess, you're talking about winning by direct attack, possibly with brilliant sacrifices along the way, while I see things more as a positional game, accumulating small advantages, manoevring against enemy weaknesses. You're Mikhail Tal, I'm José Capablanca. ;-)
I think I really learnt only one thing from chess: do not do any move for just one reason.
I think it would "do you good" to spend a week using only proprietary software on a Microsoft Windows system; I don't think you're aware of just how sucky it is. If you were, you'd realise that campaigning on the basis of software quality in addition to freedom could be effective indeed.
I do not think that is enough. You have to learn from your enemy. Learn from the strength your enemy has.
