Bold claim when most innovations are actually discovered by public universities and government research and not "market forces!
Let me try to clarify where I stand on that specific issue: I do not care how it comes around, but the point of innovation is for the commonwealth. I just think there needs to be appropriate protections from discouragement of time/resources investment, whatever that is. Too much protections and that's discouraging. Too little is also discouraging.
I don't entirely disagree with you on the utility of "idea protection" or patents but have no illusions anything fair can be implemented under our current neo-liberal "world order".
I don't know what neo liberal is or what would order you claim we're in.
I just know that a lot of people hate my opinion on how things should be. Conservatives lose their minds, liberals claim it's impossible, and tankies get frustrated and think me naive.
All I know for sure is that nobody's happier with the system than the people at the top and that's bad.
And that conservatives don't know what the fuck marxism is because they're all illiterate and it drives me fucking crazy. Wait... Does that mean that conservatives are simultaneously the poorest and the richest in society?
I was being facetious with "world order", neo-liberalism is anything but orderly. And if you're willing to watch here's a good intro to neo-liberalism or this.
