Just because you say that every economist followed Marx, or that every psychologist followed Freud, does not make it so. Provide your evidence.

Providing you with an intellectual history of the 19th and 20th centuries is, I am afraid, beyond the scope of this discussion, for what I hope are obvious reasons. I must admit I rather assumed that anyone trying to pass themselves off as a conservative on this forum was at least vaguely familiar with this subject area.

Feel free to do a little homework. I guess you could just google around but you'd be better off engaging the subjects with a little more formal mode of inquiry.

Study the history of Marxism & Freudianism & Darwinism from the point of view of their rise and acceptance amongst the intellectual and academic elites in the West. This might not be a terrible place to start: http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft9603/opinion/thistime.html

In other words, you have nothing to back up your claims and are now engaging in an intellectually dishonest retreat. :)
