Communist Leader Claims DNA Doesn't Exist

A communist internet leader told a molecular biologist that DNA is not the basis of heredity. So I debated him. This is Lysenkoism in 2026, the same Soviet pseudoscience that imprisoned real geneticists under Stalin, repackaged for an online audience that takes it seriously. In this full reaction I walk through my 2022 debate with Haz, the prominent communist figure who argues DNA is not the basis of heredity and rejects the very concept of a gene. I cover the actual history of Lysenko and the campaign that destroyed Soviet biology, and then the science itself: what a gene really is, why DNA encodes proteins, how evolution and natural selection actually work, what happens with GMOs and CRISPR, and where heredity really lives. I try to stay fair, because I am not just talking to Haz, I am talking to everyone watching who has never heard the other side.
