The echos that we see today of similar class warfare, of similar narratives supplanting real science, and replacing it with activism ... This is the direction we are heading toward. As the joke goes, history doesn't repeat itself. It does rhyme however.
You can see echos of Lysenkoism where a narrative pushed hard by activists, that has numerous problems from a scientific point of view, is rammed down peoples throats. When people can be "deplatformed" or "canceled" for having the temerity to express different opinions than the narrative allows for ... that is, in many ways, modern day Lysenkoism.
It took Russia many decades to recover from this. As it will us, if we allow this to continue.
