The political coalition of the future
The left and right can get together against marauding globalism, because the left hates big-corporation
global capitalism, and the right hates border-marauding, sovereign-killing,
so-called free-market capitalism. But I would like to see it go even
deeper than this natural populism. I would like to see ethnopluralism
affirmed by both the left and the right: ethnopluralism could gain from the
division between the failing parties---although they have become more
alike in their political correctness.
Unlike multiculturalism which causes
the loss of identity by attempting to affirm everything and everyone
equally, ethnopluralism affirms ethnic groups and cultures living
mainly in their own regions and states, which could even be
accommodated by the separation of powers and states of the original
U.S. Constitution. This could appeal to the left in that it supports
not one but all ethnic cultures, and to the right because it protects
the traditional distinctness of existing groups. Libertarians will
like the devolution of Big Government back to the regions and states.
But the great natural advantage of
ethnopluralism is that it affirms real human nature, which has
remained kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual
marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and
religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the
primary unit of selection. The refusal to acknowledge territorial
ethnic differences always leads to social disruption and even to
civil war.
Even democracy or a Republican form of
government can fit better with ethnopluralism. Any marauding minority
will have more difficulty subjecting society to their conditions
because with ethnopluralism it is the group, the majority, which sets
the patterns in the states and regions---protected by an overall
light federalism.
