How do you feel about the argument, put forth by some Christians, that Darwin is responsible for the holocaust? The evidence is that Darwinian thinking was a clear influence on Hitler's plans to purify the race.<p>I hope you think it's absurd. If a madman and a thug takes inspiration from a theory, it's hardly the fault of the theorist.<p>Most westerners are able to see the absurdity of blaming the Holocaust on Darwin, but they fail to see the absurdity of blaming the Holodomor on Marx. This is probably because the intellectual climate here has been poisoned by decades of cold-war propaganda, which created a paranoid sense that all socialism would necessarily devolve into Stalinism.
