It is well overdo time to
stop judging power by empire standards. We hear American officials
now smugly talking about how Putin's Russia is a resentful fading
power, but the breakup of the Soviet Union into its original regions and
states was a good thing, a progressive improvement, even if Putin
doesn't see it that way. Putin could have been out ahead of the
world in promoting ethnostates in Eurasia with cooperative
competition between them. This is the future across the world if the
world is to survive and evolve.
It will be a good thing
when America stops going abroad in search of monsters and loot and
allows the regions and states in America to go back to having real
power, and the federal government less power. We should have learned
the lesson of empire centuries ago from the healthy Roman Republic
becoming a decadent empire. Now we have the science of sociobiology
to back up the old idea of political ethnostates which allow natural
group solidarity to bond societies, rather than attempting to
jam distinctly different people and states together into dictatorial
empires.
