Labor Day thoughts on teleology and the state

Early Nietzsche, the Nietzsche I prefer, wrote about the natural “teleological” process of the state developing from violent origins and then emerging into society, law, culture, and ultimately developing the genius who early Nietzsche championed. Nietzsche scorned the idea of the state originating in a “social contract” of voluntary transference of individual sovereignty. And contrary to what is thought, Nietzsche thought of these violent origins of states as “horrible.” (see “The Republic of Genius” by Quentin P. Taylor).

Life itself develops teleological, as do states and cultures, because life itself is activated by the Spirit-Will-to Godhood, followed by the shaping of evolution. Eventually cultures reach the practical point of consciously separating the variety of human groups into small states, or ethnostates, protected by a light federalism. The America I prefer luckily fell into a configuration such as this, with no conscious thought of the dynamic of natural evolution.  But then America declined into a huge bureaucratic state absorbing most of the freedom of the states. We have become a neoconservative, imperialistic, marauding state with no conscious thought of the needs of evolutionary variety upon which evolution depends.

On this Labor Day holiday I support those who seek to return to the original power of the small states of the Founders, which would have protected American manufacturing, and protected the jobs that have been destroyed by big government crony global capitalism. I wish to empower the small states even further, while protecting their independence with a light federalism. This is the cultural configuration from which we can best continue our divine evolution to Godhood in the cosmos. And I have the audacity to suggest this also as the remedy for the problems of Europe, Russia and China...but I do not advocate meddling in their affairs.
