Social darwinism is an idiotic attempt to apply a biological mechanism to politics. The arguments for social darwinism have nothing to do with biological evolution, because social darwinism is a complete misapplication of the theory and I strongly suspect that many of its proponents are merely trying to persuade the ignorant of the 'merits' of such a system by exploiting their lack of understanding of evolutionary biology and its proper applications. I ask again, what arguments for evolution can you provide to support your assertion?

Social darwinism is no more an argument against evolution than the September 11, 2001 attack is an argument against religion.
