The Technocrats Are Falling as Their Ideology Fails

Great Famine Monumental Triptych by Nina Marchenko (https://leben.us/harvest-of-sorrow/)

In a panel discussion and book launch on The War on Science hosted by the Free Speech Union on Saturday in London, Richard Dawkins reminded his audience of the Lysenko saga in the Soviet Union. The famed British evolutionary biologist noted the parallel between today’s pseudoscience regarding gender and Soviet pseudoscience regarding plant genetics.
 
 
In the annals of scientific infamy, few episodes rival the Lysenko tale. Under the iron patronage of Joseph Stalin and later Nikita Khrushchev, the pernicious Soviet doctrine subordinated biology to Marxist-Leninist ideology. The charlatan agronomist Trofim Lysenko peddled the delusion that acquired traits could be inherited — a scientific fantasy dressed in proletarian garb. He promised bumper harvests through “vernalisation” of seeds and other quackery, rejecting the “bourgeois science” of Mendelian genetics as elitist sabotage.

The result? Purges of genuine scientists, like the tragic Nikolai Vavilov, who starved in a gulag for daring to defend empirical truth; famines that claimed millions of lives; and a generation of Soviet biology crippled by dogma. Lysenkoism wasn’t mere error; it was the weaponisation of science for political ends where dissent was treason and evidence was expendable.

"Lysenkoism wasn’t mere error; it was the weaponisation of science for political ends where dissent was treason and evidence was expendable."

This describes the entire green/global warming/climate change putsch in one concise sentence...

But wait...there's more. Lysenko's failures led to the Soviets seizing even the seed grain in Ukraine at gunpoint. Millions starved to maintain the appearance (although those there knew better) of success.

Knowing better meant little as saying so could mean life in a remote gulag or a bullet. With that as the downside, an entire people launched a century long campaign of believing things that simply were not so.

With the Climate Panic and the attempts at Globalism, that show has hit the road, and it's playing in every school and every TV, streaming on the internet, if you want to watch or believe.
And those who know better? --off to the intellectual Gulag as the True Believers and intellectual cowards and a parade of those who are making bank revile their former colleagues for being right.
