You are taking our freedoms for granted when you say that the country is 'socialist'. Are you trying to imply that survival of the fittest (Darwinism) is a good thing ?

I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion. Our freedoms are what is being taken away the further we move away from capitalism to adopt socialism. "Survival of the fittest" is how we get new products, new businesses, growth and employment. It is the successful in this world who provide the jobs and the opportunitities. The extent to which government acts to remove the natural drive to compete in a free society is the extent to which that society is suppressed, increasing the number of those who end up dependent not on their ability, but in the government's handouts. I'd rather have survival of the fittest than dependence of the repressed.

Are you trying to say that socialism is better than liberty (what you are calling "survival of the fittest")?
