    Capitalism =/= markets.

    Socialism =/= public services.

    Markets are much older than capitalism, and socialism is a very simple economic idea, being the collective ownership of the means of production by the workers.

    Capitalism guides innovation towards increasing profits for capitalist, hardly “innovative”. The USSR was the first to the Moon, after being a feudalistic society, thanks to socialism.

      I wonder if those accomplishments were meant to happen if they hadn’t had an ideological enemy in the ‘capitalist west’.
