Darwinism appeals to a lot of bad men:
“Making a monkey out of Darwin”
Excerpt
That Darwinism has proven “disastrous theory” is indisputable.
“Karl Marx loved Darwinism,” writes Windchy. “To him, survival of the fittest as the source of progress justified violence in bringing about social and political change, in other words, the revolution.”
“Darwin suits my purpose,” Marx wrote.
Darwin suited Adolf Hitler’s purposes, too.
“Although born to a Catholic family, Hitler become a hard-eyed Darwinist who saw life as a constant struggle between the strong and the weak. His Darwinism was so extreme that he thought it would have been better for the world if the Muslims had won the eighth century battle of Tours, which stopped the Arabs’ advance into France. Had the Christians lost, (Hitler) reasoned, Germanic people would have acquired a more warlike creed and, because of their natural superiority, would have become the leaders of an Islamic empire.”
Charles Darwin also suited the purpose of the eugenicists and Herbert Spencer, who preached a survival-of-the-fittest social Darwinism to robber baron industrialists exploiting 19th-century immigrants.

Stalin rejected Darwinian evolution as being too capitalistic and embraced Lysenkoism-Lamarkianism instead. Teaching or acceptance of Natural Selection, genes, or chromosomes was reason for arrest and prosecution as an enemy of the revolution.
Hitler was a creationist who believed in fixed kinds and that man was directly created by God.
“The fox remains always a fox, the goose remains a goose, and the tiger will retain the character of a tiger.” (Mein Kampf, vol. i, ch. xi)
“Whoever would dare to raise a profane hand against that highest image of God among His creatures would sin against the bountiful Creator of this marvel and would collaborate in the expulsion from Paradise.” - Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, vol ii, ch. i
