What do you think leads people to promoting anti intellectual policy? Maybe the fact they lacked the knowledge to promote effective policy at the time due to the country being mostly made up of illiterate peasants? How are you this much of an idiot? Do you not think anything through before you post?
So inefficient it brought the USSR from backwater to superpower in under 50 years and did the same for China. Ronald Reagan is that you?
And again we're back to lacking agronomic knowledge etc etc. 🤦♂️ 😮💨
I understand you have an ideological conviction and years of western chauvinism that are forcing you to try twist this but genuinely the levels of idiocy you are going to is amazing.
Can it be called anti intellectual by not having the necessary knowledge?
The sparrow thing was a fiasco but was based on something no? They had a hypothesis and test it.
Honestly I don't think the semantics of it are overly important is it technically anti intellectual if you simply don't know better probably not but was the wide roll out without real testing anti intellectual possibly, but in the end it all comes down to the 3 core factors which were the natural disasters, immense lack of agronomic knowledge, and poor reporting traditions what exactly you call them is not as important I think.
What's funny is that capitalism conditioned @Egriaga@lemmy.ml to be anti-intellecutal as they keep repeating the same thing and not understanding what you have to say
