Is Social Darwinism a logical application of Darwin's theory or an outrageous perversion of it?

Social Darwinism is considered an outrageous perversion of Darwin's theory of evolution. While Darwin's theory describes how species evolve through natural selection, Social Darwinism applies these concepts to human societies, arguing that competition and survival of the fittest should dictate social policies. This ideology has been widely discredited as it ignores the complexity of human society and ethics.
