An academic study from researchers at Brunel University London assessed 171 men, looking at their height, weight, overall physical strength and bicep circumference, along with their views on redistribution of wealth and income inequality. The study, published in the Evolution and Human Behavior journal, found that weaker men were more likely to favor socialist policies than stronger men.
Brunel University's Michael Price believes this may be a product of evolutionary psychology.
"This is about our Stone Age brains, in a modern society," said Dr. Price. "Our minds evolved in environments where strength was a big determinant of success. If you find yourself in a body not threatened by other males, if you feel you can win competitions for status, then maybe you start thinking inequality is pretty good."
Taking his assessment one step further, Price wanted to factor in gym time to see if he could determine the relationship flow between strength and socialistic leanings. Are men who are naturally strong more inclined to hold capitalistic views, or are men with capitalistic views driven to go to the gym?
I think most of our political divides have nothing much at all to do with actual ideas themselves, but with evolutionary psychology. Weak men want socialism and the criminalization of stronger men. Women subconsciously want more mating options, so they support more male immigrants.
Most of this stuff is selfish and at least partially determined by your biology and genetics.
