And it doesn't just have to do with evolution.....There's Social Darwinism as well. As in, stupid people should be allowed to kill themselves off.

No, its not survival of the fittest. Darwinism is about survival of the most well adapted. Something with a thick heavy coat will survive better in cold climates than something without one, no matter how big and strong the animal without that thick fur may be, for example. Survival of the fittest is a term that in no way means what your saying it does. Its about genetic evolution and the ability to adapt to climate/conditions local to any certain species.
Like I said, you have no idea what 'Darwinism' actually is. Social Darwinism is a recent term that has nothing at all to do with the theory that Charles Darwin put forth. Its uneducated fools who used the term for something that actually has nothing to do with the concept in its original form.
