That is a completely incorrect interpretation of Ayn Rand's beliefs - whether you agree with them or not, it is inaccurate to classify her as a social Darwinist. It also takes Atlas Shrugged too literally; she didn't advocate utopianism.

Line 97:
* Though one can't expect bunnies to have heard of Charles Darwin, officers of Efrafa's Owsla in ''[[Watership Down]]'' are given full mating privileges, suggesting that Woundwort wants only his strongest bucks to father the kittens in his warren. Subverted by Nature itself, as many of the badly-overcrowded does fail to sustain the pregnancies that result.
* [[A Christmas Carol|Ebenezer Scrooge]]: "If they would rather die, they had better do it, and thereby decrease the surplus population."
* The Artilleryman in H. G. Wells's "War of the Worlds": ""I mean that men like me are going on living--for the sake of the breed. I tell you, I'm grim set on living. And if I'm not mistaken, you'll show what insides you've got, too, before long. ... All these--the sort of people that lived in these houses, and all those damn little clerks that used to live down that way--they'd be no good."
