90 THE INTELLECTUAL STRUGGLE AGAINST DARWINISM

was not slow to portray the invasion of Abyssinia as justified ac-
cording to Darwinism's racist views. According to Mussolini's
perspective, the Abyssinians were inferior because they were

were ruthlessly slaughtered and hundreds of thousands injured.
As can be seen from these examples, Hitler's and Mussolini's
fascism regarded the strong and oppressive as in the right. Brute
force, violence, war and aggression were the only ways to
progress— an implementation of Darwin's lie that the strong sur-
vive, the weak die, and there has to be a struggle to the death for survival
that led to the oppression of millions.

sponsible for the suffering experienced during the World War II.
Dr. Jerry Bergman has made this analysis of Darwinism's influ-
ence:

The evidence is very clear that Darwinian ideas had a tremen-
dous impact on German thought and practice… In
