The real definition of altruism (from the archive)

 Altruism is, and should be, naturally directed toward those who are genetically similar. The “natural processes have been distorted by ideologies which encourage altruism toward members of competing gene pools...There are six main entities to which an individual's ethical values can be functionally oriented: fellow group members, the group government, other group governments, members of other groups, individuals committed to a Beyondist Ethic, and, above all, the Evolutionary Purpose. Each of these objects calls for precise alignment of its loyalties, in a situational hierarchy among them. For example, a man's ethical loyalty to his own group exceeds that to members of "mankind" generally. However (a) the injunctions of the different "object" ethics are different, mostly, in kind, and (b) circumstances put emphasis on the primary survival of all groups, if the total existence of man is threatened...” (from "A Concise Beyondist Catechism” by Raymond Cattell)

This can work in harmony with the social structure of Subsidiarity. To love ones neighbor is not literally to love the whole world, which would be contrary to real human nature, to love ones neighbor is to love one's kin and ethnic group. Evolution takes place best in diverse, separate groups, we can love the world in the sense that we affirm the right of every group to love its own neighbor, its own group. Then all groups may love Godhood by materially evolving to ascending levels of Godhood. Real altruism and evolution can best take place for all us in protected ethnostates and with an ethnopluralism of ethnostates.
