Social Darwinism had a pretty good run, but it was over in America early in the 20th century.

Social Darwinism is ridiculous anyway. The name of the game among social animals like human beings is cooperation and friendly competition; not 'nature red in tooth and claw'. There is obviously a reproductive advantage in getting along with people, I haven't seen too many successfully reproducing brutes who use physical force to dominate all those around them among humans. Elephant seals, yes. Human beings, no.
