"Either way, if society is to truly hold up to Darwinism"

But, no one is advocating basing society on Darwinism. Just because evolution exists, it doesn't mean you have to use it as your model.

Although there seems to be those who want to. Ironically, they tend also to be the most doubtful about evolution...

"Either way, if society is to truly hold up to Darwinism, it would have to allow the fittest genes to survive and procreate while letting the not-so-fit genes die off."

But they DO. But the selection is done by the natural process, not by YOU. The "fittest genes" ARE the ones that survive through procreation. That's the ONLY standard of "fitness" a gene has.
