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

      Inventor: invents something Capitalism: rewards him

      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

      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.
