Social Darwinism was bullshit 100 years ago and it’s bullshit today.
- topmonk 9y agoI looked up this term in wikipedia, and I don't know what you are trying to label me as. It seems to be just a buzz word. As quoted from "The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics": Part of the difficulty in establishing sensible and consistent usage is that commitment to the biology of natural selection and to 'survival of the fittest' entailed nothing uniform either for sociological method or for political doctrine. A 'social Darwinist' could just as well be a defender of laissez-faire as a defender of state socialism, just as much an imperialist as a domestic eugenist. Can you explain further?
