Not what survival of the fittest means, Riley, you lib
Give him a break he's only 10 and our public schools aren't doing much for him on that front, he's swimming upstream and he's got most of it.
He's also not wrong, he's been taught his whole life that "fittest" == "richest".
There are absolutely environments that promote a parasitic (in the social sense) set of behaviours. Capitalism rewards the most exploitive, making them fittest.
Also, even if the kid meant it as smartest or whatever, this outlook puts them ahead of the vast majority of westerners, and receptive to class-conscious rhetoric.
