I mean it's also socialist, with how it's developed and distributed. Despite capitalists making use of it too. It's one of the few things in this world the people truly own collectively.

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.
