Social Darwinism is false Darwinism used to rationalize imperialism, racism , capitalism. Class struggle is not survival of the fittest/ natural selection because classes are all the same species , Homo sapiens . Class struggle is not the Darwinian struggle for existence/self-preservation, which is between different species. Also winners in the struggle, ruling classes, are losers in the Darwinian survival of the fittest because they have smaller populations than the working classes that they rule . The measure of Darwinian fitness is population size . The rich get richer and the poor get children ; the poor are thereby more fit in the Darwinian natural selection sense .


Social Darwinism is a discredited 19th-century theory that misapplied biological concepts like natural selection and "survival of the fittest" to human societies, economies, and politics. Proponents argued that the wealthy and powerful were the "fittest" and that 1900s. w Wikipedia +3 Criticisms and Modern View • Users on Reddit share a consensus that the framework is scientifically inaccurate and morally flawed, as it ignores human empathy and cooperation. • Modern scientists and historians reject it completely because it wrongfully uses biology to excuse social injustice and discrimination.

Frantz Fanon: The Colonial Bible as a Weapon of Intellectual and Cultural Erasure

"The work is celebrated among Marxists for being one of Marx's most detailed pronouncements on programmatic matters. It offers his most extensive statements on the nature of a hypothetical future communist society, the strategy for achieving it, and the principles that would govern it. The Critique outlines the "two phases of communist society" as predicted by Marx: a lower phase where individuals receive goods equivalent to their labour contribution, and a higher phase in which society operates on the principle, "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". It also contains Marx's only sustained discussion of the "dictatorship of the proletariat" as the posited form of governance during the projected transition period between capitalism and communism." <

"The document was originally suppressed by the party leadership, who feared it would disrupt the unity congress, and was not published during Marx's lifetime. Friedrich Engels, who shared Marx's objections to the programme, published the Critique in 1891, as the newly formed Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) was drafting a new programme. Its publication was controversial within the party but helped to solidify its theoretical basis. The text became a foundational work for later Marxist thinkers, particularly Vladimir Lenin, whose book The State and Revolution is in large part an elaboration of the ideas in the Critique of the Gotha Programme."<



"What we have to deal with here is a communist society, not as it has developed on its own foundations, but, on the contrary, just as it emerges from capitalist society; which is thus in every respect, economically, morally, and intellectually, still stamped with the birthmarks of the old society from whose womb it emerges. Accordingly, the individual producer receives back from society – after the deductions have been made – exactly what he gives to it. What he has given to it is his individual quantum of labor. For example, the social working day consists of the sum of the individual hours of work; the individual labor time of the individual producer is the part of the social working day contributed by him, his share in it. He receives a certificate from society that he has furnished such-and-such an amount of labor (after deducting his labor for the common funds); and with this certificate, he draws from the social stock of means of consumption as much as the same amount of labor cost. The same amount of labor which he has given to society in one form, he receives back in another."

Edward Bernays - the man who invented mass manipulation 2.7K Likes 47,367 Views Jun29 2026 #HiddenHistory #SigmundFreud #Documentary He never ran for office. He never commanded an army.

But Edward Bernays - Sigmund Freud's nephew - is arguably the most influential figure of the twentieth century. He invented public relations. He weaponized psychology to sell cigarettes to women, convince an entire nation to change its breakfast habits, and help overthrow a democratically elected government on behalf of a banana company. He wrote the literal playbook on propaganda - and then watched as the Nazis used it against his own people. Every satisfying satisfying satisfying ad you've ever seen, every satisfying satisfying political campaign that made you feel something you couldn't explain, every "grassroots movement" that was actually designed in a boardroom — it all traces back to one man and the invisible machine he built over a century ago. This is the story of Edward Bernays, the father of mass manipulation. Edward Bernays took Freud's theories about the unconscious mind and turned them into the most powerful commercial and political weapon the world had ever seen. From the Committee on Public Information during World War One to the "Torches of Freedom" campaign that made women Information during World War One to the "Torches of Freedom" campaign that made women smoke in public, from the bacon-and-eggs breakfast myth to the ClA-backed coup in Guatemala - Bernays proved that whoever controls the story controls reality. He called it "the engineering of consent." The rest of us just call it the world we live in. Sources and further reading: Larry Tye - "The Father of Spin: Edward L.
