Ingenuity and creation was never made by capitalism. A great majority of those who created anything new that brought us forward in any aspect (let that be scientific, technological, societal etc. progress), didn't do it for the money, or the fame.

Capitalism isn't the driving force. It was never actually needed - but those dependent on exploiting the workers, will gladly tell you that you wouldn't have your iPhones or computers or any modern things was it not for capitalism. Don't believe them.
