Ah yes, the wonderful Nietzschean fantasy.
It works up to a point. But only up to a point.
 
In fact survival belongs to those who survive and they  are not always
the mighty..

Nietzsche wrote at length bemoaning that problem. Still, there is
surviving and prospering; those with the might, mostly financial these

belief that the US ever did more than pay lip service to all those Lockean
ideals.
