Decentralizing both Wall Street and Washington DC, and including Ethnopluralism

Conservatives advocate decentralizing Washington DC, and modern liberals advocate decentralizing Wall Street, but both need to be decentralized. We need the election of people who think more like Pat Buchanan and Ralph Nader, with the courage and power to create real decentralization.

But with a little more courage we also need to go a step further than those men have gone in affirming the deeper decentralization of ethnopluralism for the states and regions, which can be accommodated by the U.S. Constitution. We ignore human nature as defined by sociobiology at the cost of suffering real social disharmony.

Throughout human history human nature has been essentially kin-centered, gender defined, age-grading, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of selection. This suggests the natural decentralization of virtual ethnostates as the best way to bond together human beings and culture---in the U. S. the states and regions can even be protected by the Constitutional separation of powers of our federalism.

In our increasingly diverse nation, future civil disorder, even ethnic wars, can be avoided , and cooperative competition can realistically be pursued. We can also then get back to a new version of the economic nationalism that made our country strong and healthy for most of its existence, while trading with the world.   Wall Street and Washington DC have combined and hypertrophied into a motley imperial monster, which we must tame if we are to survive and not fall apart like the Roman Empire, which we now resemble.
