social imperatives are by definition not natural selection, ants if anything should be considered as having social natural selection, since their common interaction does not affect their behavior over the long term, and they evolve to face natural threats, having homeless people die on the streets is simply the result of artificial society standards as to who matters, same reason why i am not purely a materialist, since ideas (or more truthfully institutions, laws...) have an actual impact in human societies, separating them from the purely material natural selection, helped by the fact we have no natural predator and medicine of course
do you know about Darwin? natural selection clearly doesn't entail social processes
now on whether ideas are material, i think the issue is around whether the material conditions lead to the ideas or if it can be vice versa sometimes, which is what i believe is increasingly true, now that everything is built on a materialist basis at the start anyways is obvious, but this is a philosophical conversation and doesn't pertain to the fact that social processes are clearly not natural selection (unless you're fash or in fash world)
natural selection is about what traits lead to higher reproduction/survival compared to other, this entails a rigid framework (selection pressures) that allow for the selection to take place over several generations, this rigidity is only possible if social processes are the reflection of genetics, see back to fash
