That's not the original definition of memetics, though. Memetics refers to an evolutionary process, not to a top-down concerted scheme. In its original definition, many elements of Nazism are a result of memetics. The same can be said of religions and any ideology really. These things aren't cooked up in a vat, they're a byproduct of the evolution of ideas in a certain context.

It makes comparisons to the self-propagating aspects of viruses which is an evolutionary process, the two aren't the same. It was first used 1977 with reference to meme, and was poorly defined in dictionaries 1984 according to Oxford Dictionary. > The same can be said of religions and any ideology really. You seem to have overgeneralized past the point of absurdity. These things have been cooked up in a vat since the 1950s under Mao. They are not natural, they are distorted for purpose. There is plenty of established literature which I've already mentioned.
