There are some arguments for democracies being attractors that are worth considering. One major one is that the free speech generally associated with democracies allows more scientific production. Thus for example as a proportion of population the USSR had many fewer Nobel Prizes than most major Western countries (especially the US, France and Britain). So the democracies have faster technological progress.
