I'm not going to tell you it isn't, because it is. I'm just waiting for it to be attacked for it.

It follows the same process of progress and evolution through "survival of the fittest" that Darwin describes in his theories. If it is "Darwinism" it must surely be evil.

If human societies ran according to the principles of Darwinian evolution, they would be evil -- or at least, would be prone to domination by people who are most capable of getting away with the sorts of things we consider to be evil.

We have moral strictures against such activity, though, and people tend to restrain their actions as a result.

Like any other economic system, capitalism is actually just a subset of human social interaction. So the same principles apply.
