: Capitalism may have it's flaws, but creating innovation is not one of them. The alphabet, for example has spent thousands of years languishing under non-Capitalist systems. Books were availible only to the princes and kings and they wern't very good books at that.
: The last fifty years of capitalism have brought us word-processing, HTML, Java, paperback books (cheap enough for the masses), spell-checkers, laser printers, even World Wide Web Discussion Boards for Socialists(!)
: All of the above were created for profit.
Please do tell us how McSpotlight is profiting off of this Debating Room.
