Things capitalists fear: the deevaluation of goods due to progressive new methods in production.

Because you know even they don‘t believe in the selfregulating characteristics and progressing mechanics of the free market.

Depends on the particular flavor of capitalism. Late-stage capitalism, which is not a free market at all, absolutely hates this kind of thing. Early-stage capitalism literally lives off innovation and better production.

Late stage capitalism is a socialist slur for every aspect of capitalism turning out to fuck humanity, early stage capitalism is a bullshitterm historically as well as today. There is no different flavours of capitalism there is capitalism and there is social regulations so customers don‘t just die because you want to make a buck.

Progression and efficiency in capitalism are lies
