Well actually socialism has been historically concerned with maximizing human creativity. Fourier’s utopian vision was “libidinal” work that aligns passions with labor. Marcuse has a similar view in Eros and Civilization. Chomsky views creativity as axiomatic for humans, and syndicalism the appropriate system for harnessing it.
That’s why cooperatism is superior to socialism and capitalism. It’s a free market of worker-owned companies, creating things by running their businesses together.
The problem with a system based on taking is that one runs out of things to take.
Better to have a system based on creating things.

It's not a free market if you do not allow capitalism to exist.
Note that capitalism does not exclude worker-owned companies at all. You're free to start one.

Pretty damning critique of capitalists there, comrade.
What was America like before capitalists? and after? Where did all that wealth come from, comrade?
