In these days it may be good to remember some historical facts about
ideologies and science.
Lysenkoism (1920s -1960s) was an ideology-based approach to
agriculture in the USSR, supported by Stalin (and developed by Trofim Lysenko) that
assumed the heritability of acquired characteristics (explicitly denying Mendelian
genetics). Because of it, many
scientists were sent to prison (e.g., Nikolai Vavilov) or executed. Finally, it
produced declined yields and famine.
Not a good idea to denied fact-base science.
