one point: were the synthetic theory of evolution to be faithfully developed into a sociopolitical philosophy, it would be antithetical to socialism.

socialism, in a nutshell, essentially has the artificially determined welfare of the species determining the daily lives and fates of the individuals within its population.
it also contains as a root tenet that all individuals are identical and interchangeable.

a philosophy extrapolated from evolution would have the daily lives and fates of the individuals naturally determine the status of the species they comprise.
it would also have as a central tenet that all individuals are unique, that none are precisely interchangeable, that distribution of characteristics are NOT equally distributed.

this "evolution-based" philosophy strongly resembles the the ideal of individualistic elitist meritocracy towards which capitalistic free societies aspire.

Your error has been corrected.
whether you choose to incorporate that correction into your thinking is up to you.
