Socialism is literally the opposite of "survival of the fittest" because socialism punishes excellence and rewards incompetence. Anyone who thinks socialism and the theory of evolution are somehow related demonstrates a total lack of understanding both concepts.

This is just the Left replaceing the mythology they don't like with a mythology they can control ID is as bad science as Creationist nonsense.

But...but...but social Darwinism and ... and ... and ... Socialism! They're so obviously interrelated, and the failure of social darwinism proves that evolution is bunk!
Or in more 'intelligent' terms, "I don't like the consequences of the misapplication of a biological theory in a completely non-biological field, therefore the biological theory must be false"

Socialism is literally the opposite of "survival of the fittest" because socialism punishes excellence and rewards incompetence. Anyone who thinks socialism and the theory of evolution are somehow related demonstrates a total lack of understanding both concepts. Darwinism leads to socialism. The educated elite ("fittest") people feel sorry for the poor victims of "survival of the fittest". False compassion brought on by the brutality of the Darwin's world. We are smarter; therefore you need our help.
Capitalism thrives on the "playing field leveling" freedom of individual determination without restriction from "the more fit" which is made possible by laws and justice. There is nothing more motivating to a simple man, than having the unencumbered freedom to have a stake in his own destiny.
Case in point U.S.A. vs. Europe.
