What led to the mess we have made of America and how do clean it up?
Industrial
forces, banking, manufacturing, the speculative spirit have always
been a problem for farming and agricultural life, as Russell Kirk
pointed out (“Randolph of Roanoke”).
Tocqueville
thought that the abolition of entail (the inheritance of property
over a number of generations within a family) and primogeniture (the
right of succession belonging to the firstborn child ) played a part
in the restlessness and greed for money or possessions of the
American people.
The
love of money may be the root of all evil, but then people with
higher IQs make more money.
So when we look at the mess that has been made of America we have to
take that sort of meritocracy into account too.
I
think the biggest problems in America came from losing the cultural
and ethnic homogeneity of our nation. A shared traditional religion
kept the greed for money or possessions in check, and the mostly
Northern European ethnicity worked more smoothly with the
interactions of the people, in harmony with basic human nature which
has been mainly kin and ethnic centered since humans became human.
No
amount of propaganda in the media or in the schools can force the
liberal-left square in the conservative round hole of real human
nature. Industrial forces, banking, manufacturing, the speculative
spirit as well as farming and agricultural life simply work better in
homogeneous ethnostates.
So
when
real kin and ethnic-centered human nature is allowed to be what it is,
it naturally leads to regionalism, localism, ethnostates, and
finally, if we are are wise, an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. In the
U. S. this could be accomplished by adapting the U.S. constitutional
separation of powers and states or regions to an ethnopluralism of
ethnostates.
No superiority/inferiority of ethnic groups need apply. All elements
of the demographics in America could then be what they naturally are,
protected
from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers,
by a light federalism.
