- Citizens' can control and develop factories, corporation etc.

- There is no limit on how much an individual can profit

Both of these assertions are incorrect I would posit.

Under capitalism, the means of production are not owned in common, by 'citizens', they are owned by a wealthy few, the capitalists. Technological advamcement under capitalism is a result from competition.

As to the second assertion, there are. Capitalism cannot endlessly expand for all time, firstly that is just impossible from a political economic perspective. Also there are the ecological limits to growth, the drive for endless expansion inevitably comes into conflict with ecology.
