    Default Re: Science and Totalitarianism

    The Soviet Union was not overthrown by science, good or bad; from the renaissance to very recently almost all countries at best had extremely limited democracy with a minute fraction of wealthy men voting. Science didn't have any issue with that.

    Some scientists even tried to use the "scientific method" to prove other races are lesser or sub-human. Others were more than happy to use science to devise weapons to kill and mutilate people whose only difference was being directed to fight by a different leader.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

    If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain.
