Kim, I love my friends at Initialized and greatly respect your firm — and you! — so am not going to take the bait and thus will avoid deconstructing your straw man.

Pained look: state funding of research is not socialism (that's just spending taxpayer money). Socialism in this example would be a state monopoly on the innovation and expansion of internet and GPS provision in the absence of market forces. Ie. It probably wouldn't happen.

Like you can almost be certain the Soviet Union had something like the ARPANET and GPS but neither seemed close to consumer level expansion by the time the USSR collapsed. There was no Microsoft, IBM, Apple etc in those states. There was no market. That's socialism.
