(2) The Principle of the Survival Struggle of Social Organizations

Fact 1: Social organizations have limited resources to survive;

Fact 2: The reproductive ability of social organization is excessive;

Conclusion: Most social organizations are bound to perish.

Many people with ideals and aspirations want to start their own businesses, set up their own businesses or other organizations, or even establish political power, so the reproductive capacity of new organizations is always excessive. Every organization needs resources to survive, for example, businesses need markets, raw materials and human resources, political parties need voters and funds.

(3) The Principle of Generalized Evolution of Social Organization

Major premise: The inferior variation of social organization is easy to be eliminated, and the superior variation of social organization is easy to survive and pass on to other organizations.

Minor premise: Most social organizations are bound to perish.

Conclusion: The inferior variation of social organization are bound to be perish, and the superior variation of social organization can survive for long time and pass on to other organizations.

The variation of non-living things affects only one individual, while the variation of living things affects a group of individuals, so the evolution rate of living things is much higher than that of non-living things, and the fundamental reason for this high rate is the reproduction of living things. The evolution of consciousness and social organization has more in common with biological evolution than with non-biological evolution. So the main cause of the struggle for survival and evolution of social organizations is the same as that of organisms caused by excess fertility.

Theorem: Overreproduction and competition for survival are necessary conditions for the evolution of organisms, as well as for the evolution of people, cultural genes, and social organizations.

The role of overreproduction and competition for survival in social evolution has many manifestations, such as the following:

First, if the number of enterprises is small, naturally there is no sense of crisis, and even monopoly can be achieved. Only when the number of enterprises is large, especially when a large number of new enterprises emerge, the formation of a buyer's market and fierce competition, enterprises have the motivation to improve themselves.

Second, scientific and technological dissemination is cultural reproduction, and large-scale dissemination is overreproduction. Overreproduction allows different theories to compete on a wide range, good theories are sought after, poor theories are ignored, then scientific and technological progress is promoted.

Third, if there is only one party, there will be dictatorship. Fierce competition among multiple parties will give incentive to improve oneself.

Fourth, in troubled times, many strong people make fierce competition, so many heroes appear. In peacetime, according to seniority, there is no competition and opportunities, so talent is buried.

Overreproduction is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the formation of competition for survival. For example, in the era of planned economy, there were many enterprises, but there was no need to compete for survival.
