No socialist economy has ever made a notable invention.

I struggle to think of any economy that has invented anything.

Pretty obvious really with all of taxation, welfare, the NHS etc.

People (and, arguably, some animals) invent.

That's just hair splitting.

I think that no totalitarian economy is as good at invention
as one where there's some freedom of thought.

That is very arguable indeed. Adolf did pretty well invention
wise essentially because he was prepared to fund it.

Limited socialism, limited fascism, probably have
their place, at some times and in some places.

In fact EVERYWHERE has a mix of socialism and capitalism,
even HongKong before it was handed back to China was,
most obviously with the public education system and the
very minimal welfare system there.

Not so clear with limited fascism tho I spose you can
make a case that that is what the west has in wartime.
