iphone originated from libertarian socialism

when europeans first settled in america, they established a libertarian socialist system. 400+ years later, you have an iphone 6.

do not believe rush limbaugh's propaganda that thanksgiving is about the pilgrims prospering after they abolished socialism - https://slate.com/human-interest/2014/11/thanksgiving-socialism-the-strange-and-persistent-right-wing-myth-that-thanksgiving-celebrates-the-pilgrims-discovery-of-capitalism.html

actually the settlers where disobeying corporate tyranny. according to the left wing publication the blaze:

"The pilgrims’ transition—which, again, happened after the first Thanksgiving—can indeed be used to illustrate the benefits of individualism or the tragedy of the commons. But the Rush Limbaugh crowd should note that the settlers at Plymouth were rebelling against the rules set by a corporation, not against the strictures of some Stalinist collective farm or a hippie commune"

this shows corporate tyranny is flexible. it allows workers to decide what's best for them as long as it does not negatively affect profits. it also shows individualism is better than collectivism. although one could argue that if the commune was outside corporate tyranny it might have succeeded, it does not debunk the argument that individualism is better than collectivism.

a decade before that, senator elizabeth warren's boyfriend, capt. john smith became leader of jamestown. he implemented a stricter rule - those who do not work do not eat. the libertarian socialism style of freely taking from the communal storage was abolished.

this led to the iphone 400+ years later.
