You mean the idea of 'survival of the fittest' don't you? I know you know this is different from the TOE. At any rate, the statement that brought this up was that communists adhered to the idea that 'The stronger and the further evolved are the masters.'
This attempt to connect the TOE with the ideas of Communists (and Nazis) and their ilk really clouds the discussion and provides rhetorical and propaganda fodder for opponents of the TOE.
BTW. I'm interested in what Orwell has to say. Can you point me somewhere?
