How do you compare a free market to Nazism? Robber Barons is a lie made up by the Marxists. They still vilify the wealthy as Robber Barons, perhaps you are on the wrong website?

Give one example of a Robber Barron, I can give numerous examples of govts that followed Darwinism and millions were murdered because of it.

You got me all wrong. I personally would like to see a new Gilded Age. I'm an admirer of the great industrialists of the late 19th Century. I think they were on the right track, and what they did created more wealth for everybody than any government can dream of. I used the term Robber Barons as a term of familiarity. You are right, I shouldn't of, but I felt more people would know who I was talking about with that term than late 19th century industrialists.

My point is that Darwinism was used to promote some good here in the United States. And it was also used for evil purposes in Europe. Darwinism itself as a construct in social policy, in how individuals react to each other, is neutral in regards to good and evil. Americans used it to great a great thriving economy, while Europeans used it to create murder. I guess the difference is in the mindset of Americans compared to Europeans.
