The basic problem with Social Darwinism is that it can be, and has been used to
provide intellectual support to a multitude of cruel and vicious policies.
Causes which have been justified by Social Darwinism include, slavery,
imperialism, racism, genocide, the Holocaust, Fascism, Communism , war, and not
helping the poor, to name but a few. Where previously there was no clear
intellectual justification for most of these causes, Darwin provided one, and
not only that, his justification had the backing of many reputable scientists
of his day. Which is the crucial point. Darwin s work has always been an
important part of Marxist / Communism ideology as well. Now don t misunderstand
me, I socialism has certainly not been all bad, a movement that has done much
to improve the working conditions of millions. But Marxism / Communism has
brought massive suffering to millions, something I am sure no reference is
needed to prove, and the theory of evolution with its God-less focus on
survival has played its part in intellectually justifying Communisum. Again
spoiled for quotes, I chose * Marx immediately hailed Origin as * the basis in
natural science for our views.*
