That implies that there is something necessarily wrong with the notion that those with the best fit prevail; I feel that it is both unrealistic and foolish to treat life as something it is not. Idealism is wonderful, in small doses, but effective projection of power in its various forms ultimately brings more good and order into the world.
No one seeks a fight, but I'm sure you've also heard that the best defense is a good offense - and this is consistently true when appropriately applied as can be seen in everything from personal combat to ancient warfare. This is incredibly true, and appropriate implementation of this comprehension can demonstrate that sometimes 'starting a fight' is ultimately the best way to bring about greater calm. I've been in the military and have a somewhat checkered past; both have given me intimate familiarity with the ugliness that humanity can be. Sometimes, a cancer just needs to be cut away. Sometimes, that cancer is a human being.
Resources on the planet are limited; they are currently as effectively spread as the free market allows, with appropriate accounting for subsidies and various other forms of waste. Ultimately, though, you seem to believe there is some innate value to life. There isn't. A dog is a dog; a human is a human; both are biological organisms with chemical impulses.
Humans do indeed possess greater faculties of reasoning. This does not change the overall importance of centralization of power.
And my own are the people I care about. Some of them might be weak, but they all are valuable to me for one reason or another. That doesn't make me one of them - the sheepdog is not the sheep.
