I think this is your argument's biggest flaw. Is society some vast machine that needs to be "run" by some "engine"? My own answer, based upon personal observation and reflection, would be a resounding "No". However, I'd like to hear more about your opinion on this matter.

Have you ever seen a developed society without relatively pervasive governmental structures? No, this would lead me to believe that technological progress is only possible through some sort of governing structure. That, and the fact that society started developing when cities with a government began popping up supports my belief that, to be constructive, man must be governed.
