Lines: 17 If you're intending this for wider publication, I'd suggest dropping the capitalistic/communistic adjectives. For one thing, the terms are too vague to represent the meanings you seem to attach to them. For another, the distinctions made are a bit oversimplified. The fact is, while profit-driven competition is a dynamic system that can yield innovation, it's not the only system to do so. The thesis that matter and energy pellet production is inherently capitalistic ignores other successful paradigms.
