The same as his murder of Jews and Moslems and Shamanists (et alia).

There may be no ethical difference between killing to achieve purity and killing those standing in the way, but there is a great practical difference. Killing the darwinists (indirectly) caused a drop in crop production. (For example, the US during this time increased crop production, much due to the use of evolutionary theory to improve seeds.) There was no power struggle between the Communists and the biologists; except that Lysenko wanted to be boss and had the power to eliminate darwinists.

Why?

There was no power struggle between the Communists and the biologists; except that Lysenko wanted to be boss and had the power to eliminate darwinists.

That's not a power struggle? Lysenko wasn't a Communist?

You evolutionists are like the Clintonites, everything good was due to Clinton, everything good was due to evoltion. What a joke. Men had been breeding plants long before Darwin was born, thousands of years before. The failures of Russian agriculture were due to murder and socialism, the success of American agriculture had nothing to do with evolution.
