It's not completely untrue. War makes the capitalist state willing to push aside liberal-conservative orthodoxy and invest in R&D, overrule patents and centrally plan research and production. When the features of capitalism that inhibits innovation are pushed back you get more innovation. All of this is of course for military purposes so civilian applications are incidental but the efficiency of central planning is evident.
This is true. Funnily enough this was not what he meant and more like "Innovation just happens because free markets in your country want to kill more than the free markets in their country!" :so-true:
He also said that the space race was a pure competition between privately funded and state-funded R&D, which is hilariously untrue.
I get why someone who only have a superficial knowledge of things might believe that Space X was privately funded but NASA? How does one arrive at that belief?
Because it was a great ideological battle between two competing systems and capitalism won, btw :very-smart:
I've had to dislodge so many brainworms because of that fucker. Definitely one of the top reasons why I can't trust anything this fucking country says about it's own history, it's all lies built on top of more lies garnished with some russophobia on top. :deeper-sadness:
