Spencerianism

Spencerianism, also known as Social Darwinism is a theoretical philosophy that all human society have tendency to change from militant one to industrial one. In Militant society, members are subjugated to benefit the society, not the members themselves. However, as the society further develops, he argued that they will inevitably change into industrial society, where members will no longer be subjugated and will be free to benefit themselves.

Despite misinterpretations of social darwinism, Herbert Spencer was an utilitarian and a liberal, and had opposed both totalitarianism and imperialism.
