Adam Smith, Stalinist?
The same reasoning that blames Charles Darwin for the Nazis could blame Adam Smith for the Communists. The analogy goes as follows:
Economics Evolution Observation of unplanned process Adam Smith Charles Darwin Observing that the unplanned process can have the same effects as a political process David Ricardo Herbert Spencer Calling for a coercive political program to fix the faults of the unplanned process Karl Marx Eugenicists Implementing said program in a totalitarian system Communists Nazis

Hmmm. Could explain Jonah Goldberg's observation that Communists and Nazis are slightly different manifestations of the same Fascist worldview.
