The idea that capitalism breeds incentive is laughable, at best. Let people to their own devices and better technology will inevitably result (people who love science do research for this reason, not for money, money is simply a necessity that we need in our current system). What about technologies like the electrical car? The only reason such a thing isn't fully developed is because of the "incentive" bred by capitalism to maximize profit (there's no profit to be made in fully renewable energy is there?). Such dependence on fossil fuels is completely outdated and unecessary yet we can't free ourselves from its grasp because of the "incentives" provided by this great and awesome capitalism. The reality is, capitalism, at this point in our society, is only holding us back from greatly improving on current and new technologies.

While capitalism is great in theory, its byproducts, and therefore its practical application, are less-than-desirable (hm, kind of sounds like communism now)

lol, you couldn't be objective if they made a pill for it.
