Both Nietzsche and the libertarians mainly missed the individual/group-selection dynamic


American libertarian's affirm almost any individual. Avoiding that kind of individualism Nietzsche affirmed the noble individual or the genius. One side leads to working with democratic republics, the other to working with aristocracies.

Both Nietzsche and the libertarians mainly missed the individual/group-selection dynamic based in the biological origin of social behavior. The addition of the science of sociobiology has shown us that "within groups, selfish individuals beat altruistic individuals, but groups of altruists beat groups of selfish individuals." (E.O. Wilson)

This means we need to find social rather than antisocial exceptional individuals to develop in our societies, using psychometric testing etc. to find them. That is, choose people in a merit-based way rather than choosing by ethnic or political quotas, as we now do.

In the longer run the reality of kin and ethnic-centered real human nature points toward developing an ethnopluralism of ethnostates where all distinctive groups can best flourish. This could be accomplished in the U. S. with only a few amendments to the constitutional separation of powers and states,
