What is missing and needs to be included in Conservatism
By not much appreciating science,
traditionalism has not seemed to notice that the science of
sociobiology, which has deeply examined the biological origin of
much of our social behavior, and has largely upheld the traditional view
of human nature, finding that human nature is: 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 successful
selection.
In defining a nation, modern
conservatives have mainly left out the importance of ethnic unity,
which has made the modern right schizophrenic. They uphold the
importance of unity and order but not the order and unity that comes
in a traditional nation from ethnic homogeneity. The Right supports
progressive ideas on individualism and multiculturalism even as they
support a tradition which was skeptical of these things, seeing in
them the will to power of both revolutionary ideas and self-centered
capitalism. ( Claude Polin writes well of the
schizophrenic Right in the September 2017 "Chronicles")
I call myself a conservative rather
than a traditionalist because the conservatives seem to better
understand the need for change within tradition (Burke certainty
did). Conservatives need to affirm and adapt the legal
constitutional separation of powers and states in the U.S. to include
traditional ethnostates, that is, an ethnopluralism of ethnostates.
Otherwise the U.S. will split apart in civil war no matter how much
we talk about getting along together.
This seems to be the direction the corrupt empires of today are going, although it is considered politically incorrect to say it. Neoconservatives in the U.S are still trying to hold on to the empire by sabotaging the conservative instincts of President Trump, with increasing success. But real human nature always returns, which the father of sociobiology, E.O.Wilson, compared to being on a genetic leash.
