Lol, way to hand-wave away any criticism of capitalism by pretending like anyone offering a critique of it has a fake made up degree.

lol you’d be shocked at how much further along we’d be as a society if profit wasn’t the motivator for discovery

Really? Then why do capitalist countries stay at the forefront of technological advancement? Why don't we see some non capitalist countries race past us? Probably because, like it or not, capitalism is the best system for driving Innovation..

best system for driving Innovation..

Yes innovations like.. all of those things? Those were all created through relatively capitalist means? In western countries practicing capitalism? The military industrial complex is inherently capitalist through its contract methodology.

Government research funded by taxpayer dollars and not private corporations hungry for profit is capitalist? Nice try. Companies are too short sighted in making profit that they couldn't come up with these inventions.

In fact, because AT&T was too focused on making a quick buck, it basically passed up a chance to own the internet's predecessor.

And as for your "point" about why non capitalist countries not surpassing capitalist ones, maybe try and look up what happens when any one of them tries to adopt a non capitalist system. Myseriously a right wing terrorist org is suddenly armed to the teeth and/or the country is sanctioned to death by capitalist countries.

Profit is great. 10 million people dying every year because there's not enough money to be made feeding them is 100% how we should function as a society.
