Darwin and Darwinism
“The whole Darwinian theory of the struggle for existence is simply the transference from society to animate nature of Hobbes’ theory of the war of every man against every man and the bourgeois economic theory of competition, along with the Malthusian theory of population. This feat having been accomplished ... the same theories are next transferred back again from organic nature to history and their validity as eternal laws of human society declared to have been proved.”
