When Lamarck's unscientific theory of "inheritance of acquired
characteristics" was abandoned as baseless, they realized that left
Darwin's theory with no foundation. Therefore, they blindly continued
to support Lamarck.
In his article "Darwinian Evolution and Human History," the
Marxist and Darwinist thinker Robert M. Young comments:

In the same way that Lysenko and his supporters refused to accept the
laws of genetics, many of today's materialists also close their eyes to the
signs of creation that science has discovered in all living things just be-
cause of their own ideological prejudices. To produce a viable opposing
theory, they have squandered millions of dollars and many years of
labor on research that has come to nothing.

Communist Ideology's Effect on Social Life

In the 20th century, Communist fanaticism has had very negative
influences on the social life in countries under their regimes, forcing on
people a hellish life devoid of compassion, denying the existence of God,
alienating them from religion and discounting all spiritual and moral
