Being collectivism, require as a totalitarian state, and for this Pearson was all in favor, writing "The legislation or measures of police, to be taken against the immoral and anti- social minority, will form the political realization of socialism. Socialists have to inculcate that spirit which would give offenders against the state short shrift and the nearest lamp-post."
Karl Pearson's remarks at the dinner included "The climax culminated in Galton's preaching of Eugenics, and his foundation of the Eugenics Professorship. Did I say 'culmination'? No, that lies rather in the future, perhaps with Reichskanzler Hitler and his proposals to regenerate the German people. In Germany a vast experiment is in hand, and some of you may live to see its results. If it fails it will not be for want of enthusiasm, but rather because the Germans are only just starting the study of mathematical statistics in the modern sense!".
The Nazis had an appreciative awareness of Pearson's contributions to their cause.
Pearson's Annals of Eugenics and his writings directly influenced Eugenicists such as American Madison Grant, whose book got a fan letter from Hitler, being called by Hitler "His bible".
In June 2020, University College London unceremoniously stripped his name from the former Pearson Building and the former Pearson Lecture Theatre.
Websites and books still present Pearson in his full measure of glory, as a devoted Marxist and enemy of capitalism.
For example a recent statistics history book writes glowingly of Pearson " Pearson gave a lot of thought to issues of social justice" and "Nor did his fascination with socialism diminish. He wrote about socialism and prominent socialists wrote about him. Vladimir Ilyich Lenin one of the most influential socialists of all time, followed Pearson's writing and wrote complimentary remarks about Pearson's ideas."
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.

Nazis were Socialists, just like Marxist-Leninists were, and pre-WWII Progressives Supported both
