Whose space program caused significant dent in their already broken economy just to compete with the US. Won’t call that thriving.
Also China is not socialist. It is state a owned authoritarian capitalist country at best. It just calls itself is socialist but ranks no. 2 in total number of billionaires after the US.
And during both regimes’ socialist/communist eras, each country’s individual death toll, as a result of the economic policies and the authoritarian regimes, was more than the Nazi holocaust. I won’t even call that a thriving civilization let alone thriving of science.
Sure capitalism has blood on its hands. But pointing to capitalist deaths doesn’t erase the catastrophic death tolls under communist regimes. It’s not a competition of “which ideology killed more,” it’s about which system actually functions without collapsing or requiring authoritarian control.
You can control capitalism with regulations. Communism historically only survives through force and collapses when markets are removed.
I mean Russia did put people in space
And china

So how about the death toll of countries under the strain of capitalism?
