Nazis, Darwin And Evolution

The Socialists/Communists were anti-darwin. Still are.

Please explain

Stalin and Lysenko. Many Russian scientists who supported Darwin ended up in Gulags or executed for their trouble of opposing Lysenko and his pseudo-science. I don't think Russia still hates Darwin though. Unless anti-evolution is also a big thing with the Russian orthodox church.

But he didn't say any specific form of socialism. He just made a blanket statement of all socialists and communists. He might as well thrown in all people who wear long johns or who celebrate Christmas. It would have made as little sense
 
The Socialists/Communists were anti-darwin. Still are.

Please explain

By rejecting human nature. It's the reason the Soviet Union banned IQ tests, Lysenko became director of the Institute of Genetics, and Dmitry Beylaev had to hide the true purpose of his silver fox experiments. Like the Nazis, the Socialists/Communists are at war with nature.

Stalin was a lunatic and tyrant. Stalin does not get to define every conceivable version of socialism. It's like saying that all democratically elected politicians are like Trump or Hitler. If anything socialist leaders tend to be scientistic, the opposite of what you claim.
