There has been no system of net neutrality in place. The internet has been a free market and grew to serve a billion people with private corporation competition and no regulation of the government.

Net Neutrality (regulation by the government) has been in place since 1995. Now, I believe you were in the middle of defending your dumbfuckery before I interrupted with reality.

Amazing that Wikipedia, Google, and I are ostensibly unaware of any such legal framework.

Let me make sure you haven't lost the context:

You do realize that the intelligent Libertarian (or Anarchist) readers know by now that you are a Dunning-Kruger doofus. The more you go on, the more obvious it is for more readers.

I know socialist pigs will lie to keep their propaganda alive. Always entertaining though.

...[two internet pioneers were socialist pigs]...

Don't try obfuscate that you still haven't refuted that you lied above.

Socialism pigs are always the same. They lie and obfuscate their lies.

I won't let you escape from this humiliation. Go ahead and try, but I will just keep repeating your lie. Now you can throw a hissy fit.

P.S. that some internet pioneers were socialist pigs have nothing to do with our original discussion.

You're right. I stated a straight up non-fact, which I believed to be based on common-law decisions related to neutrality dating back to telegrams, applied to telecoms, and then applied to the internet in the 1990s. This is not accurate. And yet, you still haven't a valid point, and you still can't present your ideas without being the worst type of human being imaginable, as evidenced by the fact that all your posts are full of name calling and posturing to obfuscate the fact that your point is weak and your fear mongering unwarranted. People with weak ideas have to resort to those tactics for the attention their shitty ideas so desperately need, because you can't sell people on them based on the merits. All the bluster and posturing just makes you look like a dick, and attempting to converse with you confirms it. Unfortunately for you, your shitty ideas were discredited ten years ago when people as equally misguided and wrong as you also tried to pitch the same distortion of facts based on all manner of fear mongering about destroying the internet, and were roundly defeated by people who actually have the credentials to publicly sound opinions on the topic. You were wrong ten years ago, and you're wrong now.

That some internet pioneers have sounded off on how wrong you are is relevant to the extent you tried to invoke your technical expertise to bolster the credibility of your opinion, which carries no weight without the delusional grandiosity you assign to it. According to you, everyone who disagrees with you is a socialist pig. But more accurately stated, it's everyone who is smarter than you. Don't be jealous you're on the losing side, mate. I'm sure if you think up some new names to call us all, you can restore the badly damaged reputation you've brought upon yourself by shilling for such garbage.

P.S. you highly underestimate the hackers and technologists (such as myself, who helped invent the internet) who will never allow the monopolists (nor the government) to take over. We are actively developing technological paradigm shifts to render impotent any of their attempts to monopolize.

It is really annoying when a dumbshit, young snot such as yourself tries to tell the older people who invented the internet and are doing the programming and design work to keep it freedom directed. Do you not realize how stupid you are?

No, it's you who doesn't realize how stupid you are. How embarrassing for you to claim to have invented the internet, therefore your opinions matter more, only to have the people who actually invented the internet say your ideas about it are wrong. But I guess you can save face on this one by claiming that the people who are smarter than you and actually invented the internet are just socialist pigs. I wonder if Tim Berners-Lee and Vint Cerf would consider you a "dumbshit snot." Odds are pretty good based on how inferior your accomplishments are to theirs, but then again they're probably too upstanding to tell you.
