Marxism and Darwinism : Evidence, speeches, and papers in its favour

The opening verses turn “survival of the fittest” into a playful critique, comparing a polar bear’s adaptation to a miser’s hoarding, and then to a revolutionary crowd that overturns the old order. From this witty start, the work embarks on a wide‑ranging exploration of how the ideas of Darwin and Marx have each reshaped our view of change—whether in the natural world or in human societies. It sets the stage for a systematic comparison that asks whether the laws governing species also govern class and economics.

Divided into ten concise sections, the book moves from straightforward sketches of Darwinism and Marxism to deeper analyses of class struggle, natural law, and the sociability of man. It links tools, language, and even animal anatomy to the development of social institutions, and it pits capitalism against socialism through an evolutionary lens. The tone remains scholarly yet conversational, inviting listeners to rethink familiar concepts without demanding prior expertise.
