Is Ethnic Federalism A Viable Idea?

Ethnic Federalism is a term that needs serious exploration as a principle on which America and Europe could organize, but also Africa, Arabia, China and other states as well.

This is a way to pursue peace between states and people, based on an ethnic and linguistic federalism. People do not want to be taken over by any form of imperialism, whether racial, capitalist or socialist imperialism, or any “ism” hidden under the guise of universalism or internationalism.

Ethnic states, small homelands, have a natural identity; homogeneity is stability. Ethnic federalism can strengthen communities and offer a return to the sources of real life, traditional life.

This does not mean aggressive nationalism. When people love their own land and their own people they are able to understand how to love foreign people, they can affirm the right to differences, which can replace all the negative forms of imperialism. This is not racist ideology, this keeps differences from disappearing, this is a refuge against racial imperialism.

Ethnic Federalism is not necessarily a new concept of society, but it opens up new ways of dealing with our modern world. It seems to me that the United States already has a federal division of states, and even a Constitutional framework, which could legally harmonize with ethnic federalism; this might truly be a way to calm the growing tensions in this country, as it could be in other countries.
