Darwin's biological determinism profoundly influenced both Marxist and fascist ideologies, asserting that history is shaped by survival and class struggles.

Marxism and fascism, while distinct, share a foundation in totalitarianism that undermines individual freedoms in favor of state control.

The biblical worldview provides a moral framework for understanding history, contrasting with secular ideologies and emphasizing divine influence in societal progress.

Awareness and critical reflection are necessary tools to avoid falling into such moral pitfalls.
