Ah, the typical post taking Darwin’s quote out of context. He made a prediction and the full quote is:ljadw wrote: ↑15 Jan 2021, 20:41Darwin "''The civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace the savage races throughout the world . ''
(Social ) Darwinism , Eugenics and Communism are the scientific foundation of racism and were enthusiastically adopted
by the Nazis .
They all start from the ''point '' that there are civilised and savage races, and that the mission of the civilised races was to exterminate and replace the savage races,and that there were in the civilised races a lot of inferior people who had not the right to breed and should thus disappear .
It was Stalin ( who said that he was a Marxist ) who said that Communism was scientific socialism .
Racism was as strong in the USSR as in the USA and as in Cuba : the racist statements from Castro and Che Guevara are well known,but hidden by the Marxist media .
“The great break in the organic chain between man and his nearest allies, which cannot be bridged over by any extinct or living species, has often been advanced as a grave objection to the belief that man is descended from some lower form; but this objection will not appear of much weight to those who, from general reasons, believe in the general principle of evolution. Breaks often occur in all parts of the series, some being wide, sharp and defined, others less so in various degrees; as between the orang and its nearest allies—between the Tarsius and the other Lemuridae between the elephant, and in a more striking manner between the Ornithorhynchus or Echidna, and all other mammals. But these breaks depend merely on the number of related forms which have become extinct. At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes, as Professor Schaaffhausen has remarked, will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla.”
Also, he wrote:
“There is, however, no doubt that the various races, when carefully compared and measured, differ much from each other,—as in the texture of the hair, the relative proportions of all parts of the body,2 the capacity of the lungs, the form and capacity of the skull, and even in the convolutions of the brain.3 But it would be an endless task to specify the numerous points of structural difference. The races differ also in constitution, in acclimatisation, and in liability to certain diseases. Their mental characteristics are likewise very distinct; chiefly as it would appear in their emotional, but partly in their intellectual, faculties. Every one who has had the opportunity of comparison, must have been struck with the contrast between the taciturn, even morose, aborigines of S. America and the light-hearted, talkative negroes. There is a nearly similar contrast between the Malays and the Papuans,4 who live under the same physical conditions, and are separated from each other only by a narrow space of sea.”
“It may be doubted whether any character can be named which is distinctive of a race and is constant.”
Just so you know, Darwin used the term “races” interchangeably with “varieties” and “species”.
Darwin was was strongly against slavery, against "ranking the so-called races of man as distinct species", and against ill-treatment of native people.
Actually it was Pierre-Joseph Proudhon who coined the term ‘scientific socialism’ and it was Friedrich Engels who described Marxism as scientific socialism explicitly in his book Socialism: Utopian and Scientific.
I don’t care what Stalin called himself. Stalin was not a Marxist and his dictatorship of the Soviet Union was not Marxist.
Was Hitler a socialist?
