Where do states and regions come from?


It remains politically incorrect (although less so with each passing year) to say that it is basic human nature to favor your kin. This has been examined and reexamined over the years from J. B. S. Haldane to E. O. Wilson.  

In his review of Fukuyama's latest book, Steve Sailor explains that what has always mattered to people is kin relations, no matter what the politics. Each of us shares about half our variable genes with our siblings and an eight with our first cousins. We seek to pass on the gene variants we share with relatives, which is why altruism toward kin is explained by gene-centrism.

We can then go on to describe states and regions as originally formed out of these ethnic, altruistic, sociobiological imperatives. Ethnic groups really are extended families. This is why it makes sense to affirm small virtually independent states protected in their variety by a light federalism. This way you work in harmony with human nature, rather than trying to set up social structures---like violently egalitarian Marxism---which fight against basic human nature.

The Theoevolutionary Church adds to this the affirmation of scared evolution to Godhood, for all people, all ethnic groups, where evolution can be best protected in a variety of small stable states.  We believe that evolution to Godhood is the most vital, animating instinct of human nature.
