Lol, oppression. Capitalism has done more to lift people out of poverty and provided the technology to do so than any other system in human history.
Capitalism has done no such thing:
In fact, capitalism is responsible for some of the worst crimes against humanity in history and is currently destroying our ecosystem at a planetary scale. You should also learn the difference between correlation and causation if you think that technology is developed as a result of capitalism.
Humans are responsible for crimes, not capitalism...
Technology, specifically the computer and the internet came as a direct result of the industrial revolution and the scientific method.
Babbage, Lovelace, Turing, Berners Lee.
That is true, but capitalism provides the means to make those crimes possible on a world wide scale.
Capitalism isn't the industrial revolution or the scientific method, it's just a economic ideology where the means of productions are owned by a handful of capitalists. After ditching capitalism, the USSR literally won a space race against a country that was much more developped than them just 50 years before, while still recovering from the impact of one revolution and two world wars.
I'm not gonna check all those people, but Berners-Lee worked at the CERN when they developped the WWW. It's an international organization publicly funded by European countries, not a capitalist corporation but really the product of state planned economy.
