When science turns into ideology, religion and political interests. Rather than to allow people to object, criticize and dissect the subject in the pursuit of truth. If one study have been made it is by some seen as the holy truth and is unquestionable. Everyone questioning it are "deniers" or "anti" in some way or another. Scientism also say that the scientific method is perfected and there are no biases, corruption or economic interests in today scientific research.

Many fundamentalist Christians tell me that the world is six thousand years old. They say the Bible says so, indirectly, and they show this by comparing genealogies from Adam to Jesus. These add up to 4,000 years, and Jesus was born 2,000 years ago. I do NOT believe this because SCIENCE says otherwise.

Anarcho-Scientism, also Anarcho-Scientificism, is a scientific ideology and theory that advocates science is free and anyone can make science and follow free-method. Anarcho-scientism advocates epistemological anarchism as the base of its theory and advocates the academia and the universities should be anarchized and open to anyone graduate easily and make science easily.
"Anarcho-scientism shows well how would science work in a libertarian left society, mainly in an anarcho-communist society."
"Anarcho-scientism is what the left needs to counter scientific centrism, psychiatrizationism and other consequences of neoliberalism inside science itself."

The belief is that the scientific method and the assumptions and research methods of the physical sciences apply to their disciplines (such as the humanities and social sciences), or that those other disciplines are not as valuable.
The concept of scientism is complicated.
