For that to be true all the socialist or communist states that have failed, or generally to live up to expectations, would have to be devoid of science. Which I'd posit isn't the case.

What I find best about these discussions is that when socialist or communist states fail, it's because of socialism or communism. When capitalist states fail, it's because of something else.
It's because the percentage of capitalist states failing is very low. The percentage of socialist states that failed (or converted to capitalism like China) is extremely high.
