USSC's Brown v. Board of Education was the tipping point for a movement that changed a very stupid nationally-practiced policy that said no matter how good, how just, how talented, how committed, how brave, how patriotic or simply how nice you are; if you are Black, you are committed to a second-class lifestyle in America.

Think about it. In many cases and places, de-facto segregation prevented returning Tuskegee Airmen from voting, access to decent medical care or, in many states, renting a plane so they could take the family flying on a nice Sunday afternoon.

Think about it. When some of our earliest troops in RVN rotated back to CONUS in the very early 60s, they weren't allowed to fly to their home towns on Delta Airlines.

Did Brown et al address all that? No. But it lit a fire in the belly of most Americans that was stronger than any legal decision or government action could ever be.

Why, all of a sudden, did little, unused Arpanet become what we communicate on today?

1) Totalitarianism wouldn't be attractive if it didn't claim to correct otherwise insoluable injustices.

2) Totalitarians aren't always honest about their real goals as opposed to their PR goals.

Your examples have nothing to do with the criticism of libertarian capitalism.
