Modernism and the Avant-Garde
Social Darwinism is a sociological theory that emerged in the late 19th century, which applies the concept of 'survival of the fittest' from Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to human societies. This ideology suggests that certain groups of people are naturally superior to others, leading to justifications for social inequality and imperialism. The connection to Futurism is significant, as Marinetti and other Futurists embraced this idea, advocating for a dynamic and aggressive society that would discard the weak and promote progress through competition and strength.
