It's a popular strategy for Fascists.

the Nazis and the OG Fascists did it, and so did the communist Chinese.

China currently churns out more college graduates than any other country, and the rate is increasing.

And they had a hell of a way to go given that it was less than 1% when they took over.

China currently is not communist either.

They stopped killing academics at around the same time they stopped being communist.

Incredible, more than 100% wrongness

What makes you think that? Nazi Germany was very interested in science and engineering, at least in the disciplines that develop weapons.

They ousted all Jewish and all politically non-compliant scientists. They were interested in science, that's true, and according to their world view, eliminating "inferior" scientist should have enhanced the quality of the science done by "superior pure blooded Aryan Übermenschen".

While still being pro-science, they did cripple their scientific community on ideologic grounds. The communist regimes did the same.

MAGA being outright anti-science, the effect will be far more devastating.

So interested they declared quantum physics an anti-Arian idea that should be exterminated and forced almost everybody with any knowledge that could help in making a nuclear weapon out of the country...
