It's a nice idea everyone can get behind, but it's empirically false. Namely, fascism (and soon after, the cold war) was the raison d'être of rocket science and the computer (and a bunch of other things).

The main difference (and I think, the real argument against Fascism for Innovation™) is that all these innovations were created for the explicit purpose of turning human beings into minced meat as efficiently as possible.

This is not ideal, even from the point of view of the innovator. As much as you want to be able to move fast, your investors will demand faster results -- or someone who'll provide them.
