That’s why it became known as Lysenkoism, because it came down to one con man.

It happens all the time. Take Theranos as an example.

The famine and millions of death are a consequence of the communist doctrine of not having different ideas compete, and have market forces reward the better ideas. Instead they took Lysenko’s ideas as true, implemented it nationwide, forbidding competing ideas, because it was politically agreeable. That is communist doctrine.

I’d argue it always takes ignoring reality, favouring faulty wishfull and selective thinking, to be communist.

Communist countries have tried to stop monarchies, democracies, capitalist, communist, too.

What makes communist countries special in that they turn out authoritarian, and the reverse, a communist country trying to stop a capitalist democracy, not?

Lea Ypi’s book Free is a phenomenal book describing the albanian communist period. Can’t recommend it enough.

I grew up in DDR. It fails because it doesn’t reflect reality. People are different, can do different things, and want different things. An ideology that simplifies people into classes, stands between people and their dreams. And will always need an ever increasing police force to force reality to look like the ideology.

Lysenkoism, which wasn’t a part of communism

How so? Lysenkoism was wholely a result of the political ideology (environment determines wholely a crops’ yield), supressing scientific results (genetic differences exist).

weren’t that many

It’s a pretty long list (1)

They had no communist intentions to begin with.

All (>30 countries) of them (1)?

I wonder why r2d2 doesn’t simply close the stargates with his avatar powers (earth, wind, fire). 🤔

Now that there’s python in excel, I wonder how that competition will change.

Were those by choice or necessity?

“Gambling thus requires three elements to be present: consideration (an amount wagered), risk (chance), and a prize.”

That definition encompasses everything we do in life. From crossing the road, to buying a fridge, to falling in love.

b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore.

Grew up without hot running water and I can relate. It’s only a problem in some hotels really, where the showers don’t get cold enough.

My weird flex would be being so accustomed to command line that I don’t know how to use well, and get frustrated by, GUI applications.
