My Libertarian propaganda sensors are going off. Thoughts please. :)

I posted this in the Marxist-Leninist and Stalinist groups, but no answers yet.

I stopped reading after the second part of the first sentence.
I also watched a documentary on the history channel which said Stalin had plans for building a army made up of super gorilla-human soldiers.

And I think you meant to post this instead?

Oppression, self glorification, atheism and murder resulted from Stalin’s rejection of his Creator after reading and believing the evolutionary ideas of Darwin. And the most tragic aspect of all? That while Stalin was turning his back on his Creator, he was building his philosophy on a lie.

This seems to come just from the author's own imagination. There was no evidence listed to link Stalin's atheism to his justification of murder. The overall notion of associating no morals with Darwinism is retarded.

Wasn't the work of Freud and Einstein banned in the 1930s in the USSR?

Did I not already post my answer in the Marxist-Leninist group?

Yeah, I made this thread before that. You're the only one so far to respond to it in the ML group.

That source is anti-communist, but the central point is true. Soviet scientists were relatively free in the 1920's and there were many different perspectives within the Soviet scientific community. In the 1930's, Stalin's government politicized Soviet science and enforced some conservative views we now know to be incorrect. Scientists who believed that homosexuality was a natural condition, or who believed in Darwinian evolution, were purged, sometimes executed.
