    It is very rare that I write comments on youtube, but under a vaccine video I decided to comment that they should abolish the patents for the vaccines, so it would be much-much easier to produce and distribute

    AND a dude with a Che Guevara profile pic replied to me that no company would innovate without patents and profits

    WUT :che-poggers:

      not wrong; a company wouldn't do shit without the profit motive. I mean, they hardly do shit with the profit motive. individuals, on the other hand , will continue to make the world better, because what else ya gonna do?

        It was a rough translation, he literally said "NO ONE would innovate without patents! Would you spend money on research without hoping to get money out of it?"

        It was literal ancap screed, but the che profile pic threw me off
