MODERATORS
A socialist foundation where every member of society has guaranteed means of survival, maybe even thriving so we uplift ourselves as a society...combined with capitalisms incentive for innovation and ambition.
Imagine what people could do if they were not exhausted by surviving, three jobs, etc. Yes there would be leeches, but that is a minority and a worthwhile sacrifice.
Socialism provides more innovation than capitalism. We would have the cure for cancer right now if profit incentive was not the drive of the economy, but to improve people’s lives.
Edit:
I suggest you to watch this video for about why combing both doesn’t work
and
this one
Quite the hot take. Make a claim, cherry pick one thing, and post a random YouTube video to back it.
Most of our tech comes from the military inventions of decades prior. Most of that from the US military and government. So if you think socialism would have brought GPS, cell phones, home computers, rocket technology, satellites, and more to the commercial market sooner... lol.
The entire factory industry, worldwide, uses the assembly line model invented by Ford, an American company. This system also brought prices down on cars, making them a staple of life rather than a luxury.
I won't disagree with the fact big pharma could do more, but not with the idea it would have more incentive under a socialist system.
Uh.. Sputnik?
Why is the commercial market important?
Correct, the Soviets launched the first basic satellite. They haven't accomplished much since the 70s though and none of it translated to the commercial market. I won't knock them for having a solid system that could fill the gap post-shuttles. Their adversion to solid fuel rockets also has merit.
The commercial market is the public market. Not sure why I'd have to explain that level of importance.
You don't have to, I've simply asked you to.
What level of importance? You haven't explained any level of importance.
