    I mean it’s also socialist, with how it’s developed and distributed. Despite capitalists making use of it too.

      Capitalists making use of and profiting from socialist programs and structure is a tale as old as capitalism.

      Pharma as an example. Crowdsourced research, government funding with money from the people only to be bought by a capitalist corpo where they do the last 10% of the work by industrialization, jack up the price by 1000x, and take 100% of the profits and don’t even pay back their fair share in taxes, and then get a state-sponsered monopoly for an outrageous period.
