    implied that I am equating social Darwinism largely with racism; I am not.
    It was much larger than just "scientific racism," it was also eugenics and
    cutthroat capitalism and Marxism and Nazism and.... well, it's a long list.
    You have painted with too broad a brush but proved a point. The survival
    of the fittest is what makes the world go around.
    Consider:
    Marxism resulted in the slaughter of the UPPER classes in each society it
    overturned. Over 20 million christians were slaughtered by communists, more
    than ever before by anybody. But if there was a group that would nenfit by
    having all the upper classes of each nation dedcimated it would be the upper
    class of an advancing group. The result would be greater differences in IQ if
    the upper classes of one group remained while those of surroundign groups were
    killed. IN fact, removing the educated upper classes was a tactic of
    mesopotamian warfare.

    The Black Book of Communism tells us 80% of Bolsheviks were Jews. Read it.
    Published in france by 6 historians. The churches were closed in the USSR
    while the synagogues remained open.
    I could continue. It's a longer list. Jacobins - anti-clericalism in France.
    The converso initiative in Spain that you see as an inquisition but was
    really an attempted subversion of Catholicism like what's going on now.

    "Faur (1992,31ff) shows that Conversos in fifteenth and sixteenth century
    Spain were vastly overrepresented among the humanist thinkers who opposed the
    corporate nature of Spanish society centered around Christianity. In describing
    the general thrust of these writers, Faur (1992,31) notes that "Although the
    strategy varied -- from the creation of highly sophisticated literary works to
    the writing of scholarly and philosophical compositions -- the goal was one: to
    present ideas and methodologies that would displace the values and instituti
    ons of the 'old Christian.'"21 MacDonald
