At what cost? 
Please for the love of God make them stop curing illnesses!
Let's roughly estimate it at one trillon US dollars per year.
almost every genuine scientific advancement in recent memory seems to come exclusively from socialist nations
it's the materialist world view in action
No, I don’t think life is a paradox game where taking the atheist policy gives you +20% science output. Like yeah it’s more accurate than saying God does everything but the reasons for their advancement are more complex than that. It’s a natural result of capitalism that it just can’t do anything properly.
I think that having a proletarian dictatorship versed in dialectical materialism does in fact help direct labor towards socially useful purposes.
Yes it does help, but not nearly as much as the proletarian dictatorship part
I'd argue the two aspects are inseparable because the idea of a proletarian dictatorship is born out of dialectics.
Well, yeah
Listen Jack, the reason US healthcare is so expensive is because we need the revenue from healthcare to pay for the developments and advances we enjoy. Without this profit you don’t get medical breakthroughs. Just the other day Pfizer cured asthma….
Oh China did that?! How’d they do that without a profit motive?
china developed the opposite of covid in a lab
