Darwin's Influence on Ruthless Laissez-Faire Capitalism
by Jerry Bergman, Ph.D.*
Abstract
A review of the writings of several leading "robber baron" capitalists
shows that many of them were influenced by the Darwinian view that the
strong eventually will overcome the weak. Their faith in Darwinism
helped them to justify this view as morally right and completely
natural. As a result, they thought that their ruthless (and often
unethical or even illegal) business practices were justified by
science, and that Darwinistic concepts and conclusions were an
inevitable part of the "unfolding of history," and for this reason
were justified.

Few people know this, but Satan was also inspired by Darwin. The
apple that Eve ate? It evolved. 'Nuff said.

On minute, Darwin was responsible for the Nazis, next Darwin was
responsible for the Communists, then Darwin is responsible for Capitalism.
Sheesh.

“It is one of the Christian delusions that Christianity
brought charity into the world. It did no such thing.
There were plenty of agencies for taking care of the
poor and helpless long before Christianity was heard
of, and even before Judaism. Both Christianity and
Judaism have converted charity into a sort of pious racket.”
- H. L. Mencken

Should be stated; How ruthless Laissez-Fire Capitalists stole or
borrowed from Darwin who may not have necessarily approved of such
theft.
