More From Tim Berners-Lee

Unlike the marxists, the nazis did not advocate public ownership of the means of production. they did demand that the government oversee and run the nation's economy. the issue of legal ownership is secondary; what counts is the issue of control. private citizens, therefore, may continue to hold titles to property-so long as the state res...erves to itself the unqualified right to regulate the use of their property.
Running Mean Government
Christ represents originally: 1) men before god; 2) god for men; 3) men to man. similarly, money represents originally, in accordance with the idea of money: 1) private property for private property; 2) society for private property; 3) private property for society. but christ is alienated god and alienated man. god has value only insofar as he represents christ, and man has value only insofar as he represents christ. it is the same with money.

One ideological claim is that private property is theft, that the natural product of the existence of property is evil, and that private ownership therefore should not exist... what those who feel this way don't realize is that property is a notion that has to do with control - that property is a system for the disposal of power. the absence of property almost always means the concentration of power in the state.
Mean Evil Politics
If an open source product gets good enough, we'll simply take it. so the great thing about open source is nobody owns it - a company like oracle is free to take it for nothing, include it in our products and charge for support, and that's what we'll do. so it is not disruptive at all - you have to find places to add value. once open source gets good enough, competing with it would be insane. we don't have to fight open source, we have to exploit open source.
Fighting Support Insane
The difference between [socialism and fascism] is superficial and purely formal, but it is significant psychologically: it brings the authoritarian nature of a planned economy crudely into the open. the main characteristic of socialism (and of communism) is public ownership of the means of production, and, therefore, the abolition of private property. the right to property is the right of use and disposal. under fascism, men retain the semblance or pretense of private property, but the government holds total power over its use and disposal.
Mean Power Men
You are horrified at our intending to do away with private property. but in your existing society, private property is already done away with for nine tenths of the population; its existence for the few is solely due to its non-existence in the hands of those nine tenths. you reproach us, therefore, with intending to do away with a form of property, the necessary condition for whose existence is the non-existence of any property for the immense majority of society.

You didn’t tell me she was so soft on the eyes,” he said to patch, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. he spoke with a heavy irish accent. “i didn’t tell her how hard you are on them either,” patch returned, his mouth at the relaxed stage just before a grin.

Programs of a political nature are important end products of social quality that can be effective only if the underlying structure of social values is right. the social values are right only if the individual values are right. the place to improve the world is first in one's heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there.

God might grant us riches, honours, life, and even health, to our own hurt; for every thing that is pleasing to us is not always good for us. if he sends us death, or an increase of sickness, instead of a cure, vvrga tua et baculus, tuus ipsa me consolata sunt. "thy rod and thy staff have comforted me," he does it by the rule of his providence, which better and more certainly discerns what is proper for us than we can do; and we ought to take it in good part, as coming from a wise and most friendly hand.
Wise Hurt Hands
What better comfort have we, or what other profit in living than to feed, sobered by the truth of nature, awhile upon her beauty, and hand her torch of gladness to the ages following after?
