In the US, socialism contrasts with this macho image right-wing leaders try to project, but then again, how do we even know that right-wing philosophy is even truly Darwinian? Is it in the interest of savage human nature for people to avoid big government programs? Well, we see in nature that animals group together for protection. Isn't that like "Big Government"?

Note: "Natural selection involves survival in the best environment. But, the best environment is often artificially created by animals for defense.
 
You raise a great question. Right-wing ideas often emphasize individual strength and limited government, claiming it reflects “natural” competition. But in nature, many animals cooperate and form groups to survive threats, which is similar to social programs. So, big government can be seen as a natural way humans protect and support each other, challenging the idea that avoiding it is purely “Darwinian.” Human survival depends on both independence and teamwork.
 
I believe socialism is the best governance system. Socialism is different from communism. In communism, there is authoritarian of one class, but socialism gives a fair share. In capitalist society, a handful of people controls everything, however, in socialism, they also help those who cannot help themselves. Capitalist system certainly gives people equal opportunity, but how can you place privileged people and underprivileged people on the same category and ask to compete.
