Individual, kin and group (or ethnic)
selection could be called the primary-selection-trio. Libertarian
conservatives are willing to make sacred the individual, and
paleoconservatives or traditional conservatives are willing to make
the kin sacred, but both say little or nothing about group or ethnic
selection, and this is a serious omission directly relating to the
future of America and the West.
According to the more courageous
sociobiological and anthropological scientists and thinkers,
group-selection is the central unit of selection. Only group or
ethnic selection can be socially strong enough over the long term to
actually protect and advance the individual and the kin.
The natural problems of competing
groups within a multi-ethnic nation can be managed by affirming ethnopluralism,
with regions and states primarily understood as ethnostates, which
can then be protected internally and externally by a lighter version
of federalism.
Establishing ethnopluralism within the
United States is of course a daunting mission---charges of racism by
the powers that be will destroy reputations---but the
separation of powers and states in the U. S. Constitution could
accommodate the natural political configuration of ethnostates, so
even the conservatives could affirm it, if it was done gradually, and legally.
Ethnopluralism working in harmony with
the primary-selection-trio works in harmony with real human nature,
which remains very much individual, kin and ethnic-centered. Empires always fall back into
ethnostates, so natural human history and evolution are on the side
of ethnopluralism.
Otherwise America (and the West) seems
headed for civil disturbances and even civil war between un-meltable
ethnic cultures, which will weaken the nation internationally. The conservatives, the natural preservers, are
not yet addressing this real problem, or this solution, and the modern liberals remain unrealistic about human nature and politics.
