Politics then science has the cart before the horse so to speak. It ought to be the other way around. I’ll give a small example of what I mean. When someone gets their PhD they’re getting a degree in philosophy of something. We could have similarly said their degree is heavily philosophy based but it’s another sentiment entirely to say it is a degree in philosophy. That is the singular most powerful cognitive structure ever created by mankind to determine truth ought to be the core of the means through which we govern ourselves, anything else is just not in the heart of seeking truth, much less the truth on how best to organize and maintain society.

Science is not independent of philosophy. There’s idealist science, metaphysical science, etc, all of which are wrong. There is no such thing as science without philosophy, because science is an attempt by humans to understand the world. Humans are all philosophers, as we all have a world outlook. By rejecting study of philosophy as it relates to science, you are ignoring preconcieved biases, rather than acknowledging them and correcting the misconceptions. This is why Marxism-Leninism is correct, and why all science must be done from a dialectical materialist standpoint.
