Redefining Conservatism
There are mental, religious,
philosophical, moral, scientific, and artistic patterns that point
toward a redefining of conservatism, related to seeing and defining
human nature as remaining
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.
Conservatism in general needs to move
toward deepening and channeling this instinctive and rational
definition of human nature. Conservatism can affirm cultural
patterns that support this more realistic and
still very much conservative view of man. We have been going
in the opposite direction. The Marxist utopia, which preaches
materialism, is as spiritual and ideological as the religious
end-goal of non-material spiritual Godhood. Godhood itself needs to
be transformed and understood as being attained through the material
evolution of life toward supermaterial Godhood.
This view of reality points toward a
religious/cultural/political conservative transformation---not
revolution---which can eventually bring a natural ethnopluralism of
ethnostates, where different, now competing, ethnic groups can politically and
culturally conduct themselves the way they want to in their own
states or regions, even within our democratic republic, perhaps with
only a few amendments to the constitutional separation of
powers and states. We would need to retain federalism and
subsidiarity because we need the geopolitical heft of a large nation
to defend ourselves in the big world.
This redefines a deeper
conservatism and the social structures most in harmony with real
human nature. I believe this is the political future, whether we get here purposely or chaotically.
