Technically Germany was still capitalist when those guys were doing their best work. Inventions can arise from socialist economies. The Soviets were the first into space. Still, you get more when you have the profit motive. The US blew the Soviets away because research was directed by necessity during the 50's and 60's. The Reds had a victory here and there, but they were never able to catch up. By the 1980's they were buying IBM computers because they didn't fully understand integrated circuits.Cannonpointer » 25 Jul 2014 3:34 pm » wrote:
I could not agree more that inventions are not reliant on a capitalist economy. But I will not be disadvantaged by letting my antagonists pretend otherwise when it suits them, and not have that false meme shoved up their girl parts when the opportunity presents.
That clown guy, str8t, has been prattling about how no innovations or inventions can arise in a socialist economy. Well, I'm pretty sure the Germans were innovators, and I'm pretty sure they were socialist - though God only knows what Glory Hole Clem or Gooey or Str8t will say about that, as they redefine socialism within individual posts, quite shamelessly.
As to my math, I am not a mathematorian. I do my best with what I've got. If I could rail at an equation to solve it, I am certain I would excel.
