Inventing better ways to do things isn't rewarding?

[–] Flumsy@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

You can also invent better ways to do things under capitalism. There is no difference in that regard

Inventor invents something: capitalism has them pay to be an inventor as they are probably a grad student and then sells the patent for a pittance to a corporation they are friendly with

Inventor invents something or fails and has to try again: communism gives them free Healthcare, education, housing and food.

capitalism has them pay to be an inventor

I live in a capitalist country with free education. Healthcare is free if you cant afford it and is always a percentage of your income otherwise. Housing and food is also free if you cant afford it.

I have trouble seeing why capitalism is supposedly so bad

But have you considered the following:

Capitalism good because freedom and innovation.

Bet you feel dumb now.

Mhh yes freedom through capitalism. I love the freedom Apple gives me over their device that I bought but don't own. Or when Samsung locks devices in mexico because they can and people in mexico dare to buy used phones.

The sight of Theresa May dance-walking to ABBA was an insult to the United Kingdom and Sweden :(

The worst thing is that she's not even in the bottom three Prime Ministers any more.
