Science doesn't need politics, politics needs science.

science needs politics to not be repressed, politics needs science for being effective and fair.

Science doesn't need politics to tell what is what, it's science who should be telling politics what is what. Ofcourse politics can block science, e.g. this article.

No it surely doesn't. Politics can exist with no new science.

It can, but it shouldn't.
