Which political system works best with human nature?


Communism didn't relate well to human nature, it went too far in its annulment of private property, requiring a universal altruism which is not strong in human nature, leading to forced equality. But group-selection is strong in human nature, it is the central unit of selection, suggesting ethnic cultures rather than universal cultures, where altruism is most natural. The hypertrophied individualism of border-less capitalism is also not nearly as strong as group-selection, which is why global capitalism became the monster now devouring all groups and doomed to be dismantled.

The centrality of group-selection in human nature calls for ethnopluralism and ethnostates, perhaps protected by federalism, as well as economic nationalism and a free enterprise system. The United States Constitution with its separation of powers and states could accommodate ethnopluralistic regions and states. This is the balance which works best with real human nature. This can bring us back to real altruism and group-consciousness, back to life-consciousness, and back to modern man finding himself. From here the divine process of evolution can proceed, conservatively.
