The form of government has nothing to do with scientific progress.
Or... actually yes ! Governments work hard to stop progress and maintain status quo : cut in scientific research to fund social benefits.
Patent anyone ?
A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a sovereign state to an inventor or assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for detailed public disclosure of an invention.
Patenting is totally opposed to open-source.
Open-source come from people, not government.

-We are neither innocent nor corrupt. We is [were/are/will be].
Stop thinking. It gives your flesh a sour aftertaste.
