Social Dawinism does not pre-date Thomas Malthus or Charles Darwin. Of course Darwin didn't coin the term, but it's dependent on using, in a clumsy and inaccurate way, his theory and his name.
Peasant Massacres have indeed happened throughout history. In fact, humans massacring humans is as old as... humanity. Just out of curiosity, are you claiming that everyone who isn't in the 1% is a peasant? Come to think of it, how are you applying that word?
In any case, the population continues to grow. It's not being decimated. Could the suffering and unnecessary death be prevented by a juster society? Maybe. I don't know. Should we try to create a juster society? Of course. Should we reject the ugly greed and the philosophy of so many of those in the 1%? Yes.
And you can count on me pointing out your endless stream of cliched logical fallacies.
