The next stage after Trump's sort of small government fascism
The present way of the Republican Party
has been to represent Big Business, but Trump seems to want to
represent both big and small business while emphasizing economic
nationalism, with tariffs on foreign products and on American
businesses which want to move out of the U. S. to save money on labor
costs. This is different from traditional populism which represents
mainly what the Marxists call the petite bourgeois, or lower middle
class workers. Then Trump is appointing military generals to his
cabinet, while strongly supporting local police protection and order.
I approve of what Trump is trying to do, and I don't want to use
incendiary terms, but this American style economic nationalism seems
to be a sort of small government fascism.
The important thing missing from this
sort of small government fascism is a way to deal with the
assimilation of distinctly different ethnic groups within America,
even if Trump manages to halt legal and illegal immigration. That is,
Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Middle-easterners, etc., do not
assimilate in a meaningful way because human nature is naturally
ethnocentric. Any nationalism needs to take this reality into
account. So the next stage of political change, which probably
won't be made by the Trump administration, is to begin to
establish an ethnopluralism of ethnostates in America, which could be
accommodated by our constitutional separation of regions, powers and
states. Then America will be set for a long and successful
future.
