IMO opinion the real problem isn't that basic science is becoming less publicly available as much as it's becoming less basic, and really less science also.
If "capitalist science" meaning holding scientists to the same production quotas that Frederick Taylor gave steel workers, then above and beyond the problems seen with steel workers, there's the additional problem that bad science drives out good since it's easier to produce.
