    Humans are responsible for crimes, not capitalism…

    That is true, but capitalism provides the means to make those crimes possible on a world wide scale.

    Technology, specifically the computer and the internet came as a direct result of the industrial revolution and the scientific method.

    Capitalism isn’t the industrial revolution or the scientific method, it’s just a economic ideology where the means of productions are owned by a handful of capitalists. After ditching capitalism, the USSR literally won a space race against a country that was much more developped than them just 50 years before, while still recovering from the impact of one revolution and two world wars.

    Babbage, Lovelace, Turing, Berners Lee.

    I’m not gonna check all those people, but Berners-Lee worked at the CERN when they developped the WWW. It’s an international organization publicly funded by European countries, not a capitalist corporation but really the product of state planned economy.
