Federalism

The United States can be laboratories of evolution. But this requires a return to the balance between states and the federal government, a revitalization of the sovereign states. This, of course, will not be easy. Nationalism, like globalism, takes away variety and competition, and hinders the distance in separation required for evolution to take place. I am not here emphasizing so much a competitive federalism, although competition is very important, I am more suggesting a return to the places of our birth, our residence, our home.

The ideologies of secession or anarchy take away the important protections of national defense, the assurance of objective justice, as well as the shielding of the manufacturing base of the states with some version of economic nationalism. These are the real tasks of the national government. Historical Conservatism teaches us that it is healthier to legally revitalize than to tear down in revolution an established government. A return to the Federalism of the Constitution therefore makes sense.

Meanwhile, religion can do its work, helping to instill virtue in individuals, which is the most important way to change the world. Which virtues? Which religion? We, of course, prefer the Evolutionary Christian Church, which synthesizes Traditional Christian and Scientific Beyondist virtues.
