The abstract universal lie of equality has been the biggest cause of modern political problems

The impossible mission of attaining equality has led to totalitarian governments and endless ideological crusades.

M. E. Bradford said (Chronicles, Feb 2020) that it was “sophistry” to distinguish between equality of condition and equality of rights and opportunities, “as the first is as impossible of attainment as the latter in this world, and there is also no way of stopping short between them. Those who demand equality of rights would eventually demand equality of condition.”

Aristotle said all when he said it was unjust to treat unequal things as if they were equal. Real human nature is genetically ethnocentric, even xenophobic, as well as being kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, with group-selection as the primary unit of selection. Defining cultures with such unreal ideas as egalitarianism is not enough to offset the reality that multicultural multi-ethnic societies are a zero sum game where the gain of one ethnic group is offset by the loss of another ethnic group, with much cruel social discord in the process.

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., with a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states.
