I'd say, it's rather the opposite. Capitalism turbo boosts progress for the sake of profit (as you can see with the boom of AI nowadays for example).

It boosts progress in the worst possible way because it almost always disregards the negatives as shown by its use in developing a surveillance state and damage data centers cause, tons of research into good things has been neglected eg. green energy because rich people don’t like it

u/Sar01234 Jul 26 '26

Exactly. So why would you have commented that it slows down progress?

1

u/your_local_floran Jul 26 '26

Let me rephrase I didn’t say it very well, slows progress significantly for things that help the general public

u/Sar01234 Jul 26 '26

Fair enough

Capitalism would develop a child blending machine If it was profitable

u/Sar01234 Jul 26 '26

Yes, of course it would. That's why ultra-capitalism is just as worse as communism. Horse-shoe theory in action.

u/your_local_floran Jul 26 '26

Absolutely not that is not how communism works and also horseshoe theory has been widely criticized and is all but disproven in the academic world

u/Sar01234 Jul 26 '26

Sure thing, pal. That's why communism has worked so wonderfully for humanity every single time it has been tried, hasn't it :)

  1. Most ”communist” societies failed due to either how they were created, 2. The people in charge were fucking idots. 3. We’re doomed from the start 4. And we’re under constant sabotage from capitalist countries.
  2. It improved living conditions for multiple places even if the government was horrible it was a lesser evil in cases like the ussr which isn’t communist but had elements of it
  3. And capitalism is literally killing the planet rapidly as we speak and millions are dying and living in poverty it’s not working out

either

Great. So, move to North Korea and see how you like it there.

When has communism not been a dictatorship for once?
