Schemm apparently made the stupid and emotional error of equating "survival of the fittest" with "survival of the most ruthless."

Red in tooth and claw ... and idealogy, despite over six decades of propaganda from the left to cover it's tracks. "Ruthlessness" in surviving is fitness to survive under Darwinism.

Nazism as applied biology, indeed. There's a reason leftists and scientists immediately start shrieking denunciations about "social Darwinism." They've been at pains to distance themselves for quite some time.

The left doth protest too much, as doth science. There's another term, an historical one actually used by Nazis, to describe Nazism.

Scientific socialism.

So you make the same mistake as Schemm, I take it? You think ruthlessness and fitness are two words for the same thing?

It leads to blindness and error.

Okay but the context is that both Left and Right have introduced regulations and practices that corrupted our food sources.

There are now practical reasons to turn to organic (not that this term means much) and naturally grown product. The reality is, ALL of our seeds available on the market have been genetically mutated, and farmers are restricted in hot hey grow, what they grow, and when, in a system that forced subsidies on them, or puts them out of business. Most of our crops are under contract of corporations that are up to no good.

This is where the left and the right should be able to find some middle ground.

A good film on the topic is called King Corn. It’s usually available on Netflix watch it now. It’s Left leaning, but tolerable. They do tie Clarence Thomas and others to Monsanto, but it’s deserving.
