Social Darwinism, Socialism, or Communism..which do you prefer?

Social Darwinism refers to various ideologies based on a concept that competition among all individuals, groups, nations, or ideas drives social evolution in human societies. The smart, educated, strong and rich will dominate the weak, uneducated, poor and underprivileged. Those who are mentally deficient, handicapped or invalid should be terminated.

Socialism refers to various theories of economic organization advocating state, public or common worker (through cooperatives) ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and a society characterized by equal access to resources for all individuals with an egalitarian method of compensation.

Communism is a family of political ideas and social movements related to the establishment of an egalitarian, classless, or stateless society.

Which do you prefer?

Update:

Capitalism is a form of Social Darwinism.

All Democracies have implemented Socialist economic policies.

Communism, a nation truly run by the people, or proletariat, without influence from business interests or moneyed individuals....has yet to be realized.

  • Each economic system or its hybrids fits with certain kinds of political structures. For the U.S.'s representative democracy with its social contract foundation, there's only one good fit: regulated capitalism. If unregulated, capitalism will compete for power with the people.

  • None of the above.

    Social Darwinism is a liberal construction. It is not one which the people being ethnocentrically so labeled take for themselves. Therefore, I reject it as such.

    I prefer to be about the power and freedom of the individual to pursue his or her own highest best good, as he or she chooses, with the least interference from the government possible. You know, kind of like what the US Constitution lays out.

  • None of the above, that's why I live in the United States of America, a democracy.

  • None of the above, I prefer the great country we have and do NOT want it turned into a Socialistic Banana Republic lead by Marxist Obama

  • Democracy

  • I prefer encouraging independent thinking and logical problem solving. None of these old and stale political ideologies you propose have these characteristics.

  • None of the Above

  • Darwinism survial of the fit.

  • None ...Capitalism the only way to go.. Spoken by an American..

  • That is like asking me if I rather have hemorrhoids, herpes, or anal seepage.
