No, in actuality, it's a paradoxical, self-defeating statement. It's like saying a toilet is an indoor outhouse.
Like whoa.

Most certainly.
Not to mention that these companies, such as Apple, would not exist without the aid of the government from multiple angles.

Socialism equaling state capitalism is absolutely not paradoxical.
You're just incredibly uneducated on the matter.

Well that's it, short lesson today.
Hopefully some of you learned a thing.
Review -- the notion that Silicon Valley was successful because of free market capitalism is false.
And socialism with the existence of a state really means state capitalism.

Another reason I don't support Apple.
Now if we're talking computers specifically, it originated as a military/government project.
They wanted to calculate ballistic potentials. From there it took off. A snowball effect, it wasn't all government (ENIAC) or all private citizens (Gates).
We can talk about America's current socialistic-capitalistic system and the symbiotic effect, and the detrimental effect. I of course wish we were more capitalistic. But to chalk our current technological innovation up to pure socialism is lunacy.

You're so lost. It's funny.
*Zero summing is the prime indicator of a limited mind. You're educated, but you're dumb. It's like sharpening a butter knife, at its peak sharpness it still won't do much beside spread butter.

I didn't present an argument, I presented a truth. There is a difference.
You can choose to educate yourself on matters that I so generously bring to light, or not, up to you.

The girl on the right looks like my gf, and is way cuter and cooler than the bimbo slut on the left and the bag of tools she's with.

Let's compare IQ scores. Or academic accolades. Or life experiences. Could you read before age 2? This will be awesome.

Come on man. The only thing I have to worry about is ruining my anonymity. Let's do it. Prove you're just smarter than me, since that's your only argument.

You just cemented it with those last two posts.
You won't understand why, if you did you wouldn't have made them.
