Isn't it capitalism the system that let's technology flourish for good or bad. Intelligence (R&D) => technology => capital (funding) & industry (plants, businesses, jobs) =>societal change (use) => increased & more diverse intelligence (R&D) => new or improved technology => societal change => intelligence..... What system does it better?
I don't think the political/economic system matters that much. It's not as if communism or feudalism are anti-technological. Communist countries want new technology too, they're just less efficient about creating it because of crazy levels of government red tape and corruption, and centralized control of funding slows down innovation.
The richer, more free, and more individualistic a society is, the more innovative it is likely to be. I think those factors are more relevant than capitalism.
