Page 16 - The Social Weapon: Darwinism

In this book, we shall be examining and illuminating two
main subjects: First, the dangers of educating young people in the

light of Darwinism and of the theory's wide acceptance will be
shown to people unaware of, or who ignore, the threat that it
poses to societies and individuals.
Second, it will respond to those who maintain that Darwin
and evolutionists are not in total agreement with Social
Darwinists, and will show that every evolutionist who signs up to
the theory of evolution is in fact signing up to Social Darwinism as
well.
Throughout, we shall be emphasizing that the model pro-
posed by the theory of evolution, regarding human beings as a
species of animal, is an error based on ruthlessness, lovelessness,
selfishness and self-interest. Darwinism seeks to construct a world
where humans live and behave like animals. Social Darwinism's
teachings and practices make this quite clear. According to its
twisted views, it is perfectly acceptable for an elderly, needy per-
son to be dragged out of his home and taken away to be killed; or

for handicapped people to be rounded up and left to die in con-
centration camps. According to this distorted thinking, those in
the “inferior” classes can be ruthlessly persecuted, exploited and
eliminated. Those who believe that human society can progress
only when these savage policies are implemented regard such
slaughter, genocide, cruelty and ruthlessness as a kind of success.
They maintain that individuals and societies—indeed, entire cul-
tures and nations—unable to achieve that success, must be done
away with.
Without doubt, that is a most perverted and dangerous way
of thinking. Perceiving this danger is of the greatest importance
for those who oppose the theory and the ideologies based on it.
Societal models based on Darwin and Darwinism are models that

will lead to the most dreadful catastrophes. On the other hand, the
