Good and hard questions. I think that you would have to distinguish between
"science", "research", and "development" in order to answer them. And think
hard about the fact that it was not in producing the heavy industrial goods
of the second industrial revolution but in developing and producing
twentieth century technologies and the goods they made possible that really
existing socialism fell down.

And you have to think about Lysenko...
