The true base of conservatism

Paleoconservative's say that they are neither racists or xenophobes defining the term “racist” as a person who believes that one's own racial group is superior or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others. But the true definition of racism and ethnocentrism sees the races as distinct from one another, not equal, but with different talents, while being universally the same in being bio-culturally oriented toward family, ethnic group, and locality. To survive and reproduce successfully races evolved to be compelled by their genes and by the nature of their environment to be internally cooperative but externally xenophobic. That defines real human nature and suggests the true base of conservatism, and real human nature should not be left out of or denied by political philosophy.

E.O. Wilson writes in “The Social Conquest of the Earth”: “Hereditary altruists form groups so cooperative and well-organized as to out-compete non-altruists groups...The genes hold culture on a leash. The leash is very long, but inevitably values will be constrained in accordance with their effects on the human gene pool. The brain is a product of evolution. Human behavior . .is the circuitous technique by which human genetic material has been and will be kept intact.”

Ed Dutton points out that computer modeling demonstrates that ethnocentric strategies usually triumph and universalist humanitarianism is ultimately a losing strategy “unable to sustain high levels of in-group cooperation.” Humanitarian groups invariably “waste their precious reproductive potential helping out free riders who give them nothing in return...”

That defines real human nature and suggests the true base of conservatism, and real human nature should not be left out of or denied by political philosophy. A true natural rights or civil rights movement would promote an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and defended by a defensive federalism.
