Seems like everything good would have been invented by people anyway, and lots of the bad things are done in the name of profits. Maybe they would have also happened in another system, but the point stands.

What, like, Double Stuffed Oreo's? Can we even call those good?

    Increasing labor productivity and consequent rise in standard of living is because of the profit motive. Decreasing labor costs through increasing productivity = more profit, at least until the competition catches up. Under communism, increasing labor productivity is pursued for its own sake, not indirectly through the search for profit(although its quite meaningless to talk about profit as money itself wouldnt be a thing)
