Small States Rights


Several conservatives have said that the impossibility of Marxism and cultural Marxist social schemes comes from the reality that liberty and equality are not compatible. People are naturally unequal and can be brought to equality only by interference and force.

The rights of an individual also depend upon the conditions of group survival. Cattell used the example of a man joining a ship's company and demanding his right not to drown, or a man investing in the stock of a company and demanding that his shares will not decline no matter what the stock market says---ethics deals with rules among individuals. This contradicts libertarianism.

I believe the sociopolitical reality of human nature leads to affirming small states, or ethnostates, protected by a light federalism. The United States already has such a structure but the states need to be given far more power than they now have, and the federal government needs less power.

This reality is grounded in human nature as well as conservative tradition, and even sciences such as sociobiology can affirm it. There is nothing to do but make it happen, not only in America but in the rest of the world, although each region of the world needs to do it themselves without outside imperialistic interference.

However, the most important reason for this political philosophy is that it allows the variety, independence and stability necessary for evolution to take place, and evolution to Godhood in the cosmos is our most sacred, and natural, mission.
