Absolutly not. In capitalism you survive by keeping your customers happy, efficiently. What in nature compares to that? And nothing about free market capitalism precludes personal charity. Sorry, dude, true free market capitalism would be the ultimate darwinian social construct.

thirdy, this is not the babble boobs thread. This is the PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH thread. I'm amazed at how engineers have set survival to such low levels. That's a culture engineer created that allows any biology to survive. tom watson tosiwmee

Eugenics is a socialist idea. A bogus argument that socialists have long been promoting is that Hitler's National Socialism had nothing to do with Marxism or conventional socialism. They have maintained that Marxism is egalitarian whereas Nazism was rightist and promoted political social Darwinism in its inequality, racism and militarism. Why is it then that at the turn of the century, George Bernard Shaw, perhaps the most famous and articulate proponent of "democratic Marxism", known in England as Fabian socialism, created "Man and Superman" the most social Darwinian and Nietzschean play ever written? Don't "liberals" usually associate the aggressive, militaristic and "might is right" philosophy of Friederich Nietzsche with Hitler's National Socialism? If Hitler had read "Man and Superman", which appeared about 1909, he doubtless would have like it. One important idea informing this didactic drama is that the Life Force (Shaw's God) is directing the evolution of homo sapiens towards a kind of superman, a human being of superior intelligence and strong will. Of course, natural selection in courtship and mating plays a seminal role. Shaw believed that the Life Force is stronger in the woman, and the love game is extremely serious, just as Nietzsche had written that "love is war". In his play Shaw clearly demonstrates through his heroine Anne that it is the female that actually makes the choice in mating and procreation. The male's belief in the opposite is only a delusion. Shaw, a socialist, is implying that selective breeding, a form of eugenics, is both necessary and desirable. Further, the reader or audience is almost forced to infer that the playwright believed a minority of human beings is superior to the general population and that it is the will of the Life Force that power will devolve to this intellectually, physically and morally superior elite. The play definitely has fascist overtones and in no way supports egalitarianism. Since "Man and Superman" was written by a Fabian or "democratic" socialist it has to be disturbing to all Marxists and socialists today. But most of them that appear on the Internet would be too stupid and bigoted to understand the implications of what has been stated here.
