I often think about how the capitalist model of "infinite growth" has caused scientists/researchers to assume there is unlimited truth that can be uncovered and accordingly the number of journal publications per year has increased hyper-exponentially. We are currently evaluated primarily on quantity of output rather than quality, which I hope would change under a socialist system with different assumptions about what "scientific productivity" is and means. I would also imagine shifting away from quantity-output based evaluations would benefit most fields, since it would help prevent the necessity to constantly re-invent and fragment existing constructs and theories in the name of "novelty".

Also, socialist science ideally would open the door to more people and different groups of people being able to become scientists and non-scientific researchers, which would only expedite our progress and generation of knowledge. Increased social and geographical representation could help bypass a lot of wasted time and resources spent on research based on biased/incomplete/faulty assumptions that people from different backgrounds would be able to more readily inform.
