Community leads individualism

The tension between individualism and the community or the group has been creative in America, but this creative tension seemed to work better when America was more homogenous than it is now. The importance of group behavior leading indivualism is a verdict affirmed by empirical studies in sociobiology regarding actual human nature and success in survival, and is affirmed by common historical sense. This means that libertarianism is philosophically inferior to paleoconservatism if we care at all about natural human nature. For example, this means that economic nationalism is superior to globalism.

But the community is not the centralized state first and foremost, which the Left has trumpeted, community is localism, small states, regions, and according to the Constitution the main duty of the central state is to protect the small states internally and externally.

Growing cultural and ethnic differences between people in America, brought about both by ignorance and from purposefully weakening the local homogeneous order, will require even more emphasis on protecting the differences of states and regions and local independence. This seems like virtually the only way to keep America from falling apart in the coming decades. A communist or fascist take-over by the central state in a vain attempt to create either ordered equality or homogeneity throughout the land would be the failure of America as it was the failure of the Soviet Union.  On this crowded planet new/old politics is needed emphasizing regional and local differences, and cooperative competition.
