Serbo-Croat term or phrase: pravo jačega
Izgleda jednostavno, ali nisam uspela da nađem ni u jednom KudoZu, niti papirnom rečniku. Izraz mi se pojavio u tekstu o nacističkoj Nemačkoj, ali je naravno mnogo univerzalniji. Any ideas?

the right of the high/master race


Explanation:
The "new order" will be an "order" based entirely on domination by the Germans as the mightiest and most creative cultural lords of the Occident. The new age that began for the whole world, according to German Fascist opinion, with Adolf Hitler, will be a German age in which everything will be subordinated to the needs and the leadership of this master race. Small nations will have only a right of existence under the protection and command of the great nation; whatever space Germany needs to insure the wants of her people will be taken and settled by German farmers and artisans. As Dr. Ley said, "It is the fate of every single German to belong to his high race. A lower race needs less room, less food, less culture than a higher race. The German cannot live under the same conditions as the Pole and the Jew."

right (survival) of the fittest


Explanation:
kao analogija Darvinovoj teoriji o prirodnoj selekciji: 'survival of the fittest'
A evo jednog citata s ove druge veb stranice:
Mein Kampf /mine kahmpf/: Meaning "My Struggle," it was the ideological base for the Nazi Party's racist beliefs and murderous practices. Published in 1925, this work detailed Hitler's radical ideas of German nationalism, antisemitism, anti-Bolshevism, and Social Darwinism which advocated survival of the fittest.

Ne, Anele, upravo se radi o tome da je Nemaèka nametala neka rešenja samo zato što je bila velika i jaka (moglo joj se, kao i danas nekim drugim zemljama), a ne zato što je bila superiorna (mada je smatrala da jeste).
