Non ci possono essere esperti 'imparziali' in una società basata sulla lotta di classe

“The Labour Movement should learn to be unendingly suspicious of advice from capitalist experts; it should learn also to expect from the capitalists and their hangers-on hatred of ideas which advance the interests of the working people. “Throughout the civilised world the teachings of Marx”, wrote Lenin, “evoke the utmost hostility and hatred of all bourgeois science (both official and liberal) which regards Marxism as a kind of ‘pernicious sect’. And no  other attitude is to be expected; for there can be no ‘impartial’ social science in a society based on class struggle. In one way or another ‘all’ official and liberal science ‘defends’ wage slavery, whereas Marxism has declared relentless war on wage slavery. To expect science to be impartial in a wage-slave society is as silly and naive as to expect impartiality from manufacturers on the question whether workers’ wages should be increased by decreasing the profits of capital” (‘Essential of Lenin’, Vol., I, p. 59), There can be no impartial social science, says Lenin. But if this so, can the Labour Movement afford to let its leaders take sides ‘against’ Marxism whilst allowing “liberal” and “official” science to propagate its ideas throughout the movement and to shape the movement’s policy?” [John Eaton, Marx against Keynes.
