You are currently living in a bourgeois dictatorship (no, getting to "choose" out of two capitalist imperialist parties is not "democracy"). Has your country not innovated on anything?

Have proletarian dictatorships like the USSR, which went from feudal backwaters to the first nation ever to explore space in just 30 years, and China, which has gone from one of the 10 poorest nations to now the second (soon to be first) richest, not innovated?
