Agreements and Disagreements with the New Right Identitarians

I can go along with Europe of a thousand states, or China of a thousands states, protected by a light federalism, but I can't go along with a leftist, fascist, revolutionary imperialism, which many of the New Right Identitarians in the United States, France, Sweden, and Russia have affirmed. I am an American patriot, and it goes against my instincts to see the New Right Identitarians turning to Eurasian imperialism against the West.

I do not approve of the marauding, global-business imperialism of the United States, promoted by the neoconservatives, but I do approve of the light federalism and the strong states rights of the original United States Constitution. And I approve of the enormously successful free enterprise system. I think the federalist example of the United States gives us an historical advantage in the legal separation of small states from the central government, but this independence needs to be reaffirmed and revitalized, even to the point of thinking of the states and regions as virtual ethnostates. I share the Identitarian idea that ethnic-cultural factors are central, and that man is a combination of genetic and environmental traits, which is why I affirm small states as ethnostates, more or less.

Another main difference between my worldview and the Identitarians is that I strongly affirm evolutionary religion, which goes beyond the realm of power politics. When Identitarians do speak of religion they usually mean an Evolian-Guenonian style Traditionalism, which basically rejects the Enlightenment, progress, science, and evolution. These advancements are of vital importance in the religious philosophy of the Theoevolutionary Church (TC), since it is the primary mission of mankind to evolve in the material and supermaterial world to Godhood.

The Traditionalists attempt to exhume remnants of ancient pagan ideas of the God-Within, and connect this with the remnants of this God seen and renewed in Orthodox or traditional Catholic traditions. But in the Twofold Path of TC, in addition to experiencing the inward mirror of God---which was the first glimpse of Godhood seen by mankind---we affirm the Evolutionary Outward Path of material-supermaterial evolution, which is the evolution of mankind beyond the human species to real Godhood in the cosmos, not only the inward mirror of Godhood.  This will necessarily involve progress, science and evolution. Evolutionary religion is the deepest foundation for the rise of mankind out of the decadence of the modern world. Politics and the cultural ethos need to affirm this sacred path.

I approve of an America which brings its empire home, its troops home, an America which takes its manufacturing base back again from the imperial outsourcers, an America with trading partners in the world, yet an America of economic nationalism, and an America of independent states---even of ethnostates and regions---as the original Constitution can affirm. I think Europe and Russia and China should go this way too because it fits well with real, and ideal, human nature. Some Identitarians do appear to affirm this worldview, more or less, but for a long term civilization to rise, the ground of evolutionary religion is needed.
