Even better is that Tim Berners Lee designed and developed the world wide web at CERN. A scientific socialist utopia on the borders of Switzerland and France.

Sorry, but most people would agree capitalism created internet. Check the first answer. You depended on all the products captialism created to get internet started and even then it wasn't what it is now with corperations involved. Youtube, google, facebook, twitter, amazon, ect are all due to capitalism. Heck, the phone/computer you are using now is thanks to capitalism.

Of course most people would agree with that if they were as ignorant as you, not actually knowing the actual and REAL origins of both the internet and computers. Ignorance truly is bliss. Just remember the capitalist Bill Gates actually was against the internet and browsers. Microsoft jumped onto the internet band wagon very late with Internet Explorer. Just as they were against OpenSource (probably because they thought it was a socialist ideology) and now 10 years later they are all over Linux and OpenSource projects. So this whole "capitalism" setup up everything and are amazing visionaries is just another lie you choose to tell yourself and believe while you rock yourself to sleep. It fits in with your world view. Most new inventions that change the world happen organically and collaboratively. That is the REALITY.
I'll give you another REAL world example of capitalism. At the turn of the century fire departments were privatised. So you would pay a particular fire department to come to your house should it catch fire. You know what happened in REAL life. When a house was burning, if a competing fire department was in the area, they would REFUSE to put out the fire, because that house wasn't "on their books". After several families lost their homes due to this idiotic capitalist setup, they then made fire departments a state/socialist construct, so that all homes were covered, should a fire break out. If you want PURE capitalism, you should be lobbying your congressman to privatise fire departments, rubbish collection, road maintenance, etc. etc. the list goes on. NOTHING should be on the state's books. So that the state doesn't control your life :)
