Why would technological advancements stop in a world with no money? It wasn't capitalism that invented satalite communications, nuclear energy, the internet etc, it was brilliant minds. Capitalism just made it possible in a world were resourses cost money. In a world with no money, these scientists and brilliant minds don't dissapear. Instead they have better resourses (because they are free) to invent better technology. I think, in a world with no money, technology advances quicker than in a capitalist society.

Well, history disagrees with you.
let's look at the last 60 years of advancements from, say China, and the US.
China is much bigger, arguably better educated, and has some brilliant minds. Who has contributed to technology more?
Ironically, the country has started putting huge amounts of funding into technology. The reason? They have become more connected in the Global Economy over the last several years, and realize how technologies can make there country a lot of money.
Even for China, Capitalism works ;)
