Your premise has been completely exploded by dozens of posts on this thread

Can you please point to a post that shows that Hitler was attempting to create a new species of Homo, or that he cited Darwin as a source. Absent either of these means that I have conclusively proven that Darwin was not a source for Hitler's euginics program.

Sit down and shut up!

it wasn't racism in the same sense

Did Bill Clinton teach you to how to invent preposterous semantic distinctions for obfuscatory purposes, or did you teach him?

And you'll recall that the British had as much or more contempt for the Irish than they ever had for black Africans.
The concept of superior/inferior races springs almost directly from social Darwinism in the mid-19th century.

Today's Free Advise: When you make mutually exclusive assertions, insert lots of padding between them. That way, you have some hope that the reader will forget the first one before encountering the second one, and thus fail to notice that you are spouting nonsense.

Yes, the Nazis based their policies on Intelligent Design theory.

Stein didn’t say darwinism caused nazism, but that you couldn’t have nazism without eugenics and you coudn’t have eugenics without darwinism.

“YOU DID HAVE EUGENICS 2300 YEARS BEFORE DARWIN!”

Source Please. Eugenics does not refer to animal breeding if that is what you are referring to.

In any case, the state sponsered eugenics of the previous two centuries was clearly inspired by darwinian ideas.

eugenics is just another name for breeding humans. See Plato’s Republic.
