1. Edison and Swan, the owners of the Edison & Swan United Electric
Light Company, did invent the light bulb, and did not waste too much
time arguing with each other over who made the greater contribution,
because they were too busy making money.
2. Your theory (that capitalists are unproductive) has been put to test
thousands of times in the last two thousand years, and the result every
time is poverty and terror.
3. You do not know how to make a light bulb, or a transistor, or even a
pencil. You need a capitalist to tell you what to produce and how to
produce it. Without capitalists, everyone starves, as they are starving
right now in Venezuela and North Korea.
