Can we surpass the political philosophy of the ancients?
Can we surpass the
political philosophy of the ancients? I don't see why not, as long
as we realize that we are standing on their shoulders.
When the Founders of America created
the constitutional separation of powers and states they did not think
we would become a multicultural multi-ethnic state, they assumed we
would remain ethnically and culturally Northern European. If they had known the
future they might have provided for ethnostates and an ethnopluralism
of ethnostates.
They also didn't have
Darwin and his grand evolutionary worldview, or the sociobiological
discoveries of the biological origin of social behavior.
To accommodate the kin and
ethnic-centered heart of basic human nature we can affirm a
re-invigoration of federalism, this time in harmony with the growing
variety of competing ethnic
groups in America with different genetic pools and different agendas.
Federalism and the Constitutional separation of powers and states can
develop an ethnopluralism of ethnostates.
But this needs to be
develop legally, not with civil
war, or even with secessions, which could endanger the federal
protection needed for all ethnostates in a world that continues to
have marauding nations with imperial ambitions.
With only a few amendments
we would still be conservatively standing on the shoulders of the
Founders, and we would have a more assured future.
