It is more fiction but in Man in the High Castle there is the character of Thomas Smith.
I think you are handling the case of pressing other groups down with massmurders but that would be “just” “might makes right”. Some of the more frightening aspects would be to pinpoint that pruning inwards to do self-eugenics which would be conceptualised as a favour to your in-group. If all eugenics would be “mere” proxys then one would expect to abandon it if it suggested things strongly in the negatives for the more actual goals. Ie the moment eugenics would call your kin to hinder you would drop it. A large part of the drama in the tv series is gotten by different moral intuitions pulling in different directions and I guess repeatedly exploring how that states ideology is f up in more and more detail.
For the big plot points relevant for this (spoilers for Man In the High Castle):
Thomas Smith becomes a saint for having a terminal case of internalised ablism. Atleast for subkin promotion it did not get dropped. There can be a case made that it makes sense for promoting his siblings. The issue for conceptual analysis is whether the motivations of people involved were grounded.
