Ah, comrade. I believe you mean "Proletarian Pseudoscience"

Bourgeois pseudoscience (Буржуазная лженаука) was a term of condemnation in the Soviet Union for certain scientific disciplines that were deemed unacceptable from an ideological point of view.

At various times pronounced "bourgeois pseudosciences" were: genetics (see Lysenkoism), cybernetics, sociology, semiotics, and comparative linguistics (see Japhetic theory). This attitude was most prevalent during the rule of Joseph Stalin.

Nature cannot be fooled, you fools. I feel most like dancing when science triumphs over falsehood. It is proof enough that there is a reality with rules that can be learned and exploited.
