"A previous extremist Labour govt in Britain (Atlee) had a nut problem as well."
As expected the Labour minister in charge was described as an ex marxist (ie a stalinist) and no doubt a fan of Lysenko. There were any number of idiots who participated in the great peanut debacle . They all followed the superficiality demanded by Lysenko.
"A new political party based on Science - when the masses are deluded by voodoo dark-arts?"
. Socrates was against the masses having a say because they were easily misled by charlatans just like today. Today's charlatans are claiming that their new religion is in fact scientific when you can drive a bus through most of their garbage. The difficulty is in finding intellectuals with spine but they do exist. Most would have been purged by now so to finance a new party will be the first obstacle.
I was listening to a podcast re China's cultural revolution. It's pretty obvious that neo national socialists like antifa are trying to emulate the red guards. We need to be prepared.
