it seems to me that IP laws and copyright stand as a big impediment to efficient progress. Ideally in a socialist country "trade secrets" would be open knowledge so that anyone could work to improve it, similarly to free and open source software paradigms.
I think it's fine for people to receive recognition for/own their art and music and stuff like that but I'd like to see a major expansion in the rights of people making transformative/derivative works where someone can't just torpedo your shit just cuz you used 10 seconds of their song or whatever.
