THE TRIBE

The five stages in the political development of human society are Family, Clan, Tribe, City State and Nation State. But if you look closely, it becomes obvious that there are only three stages, Family, Clan and Tribe, for the City State and Nation State are simply, at their most fundamental level, just larger tribes.

A homogeneous Nation State is a stable state; a Nation State composed of competing tribes, whether religious or ethnic, is fragile, and becomes unstable when one of the tribes becomes dominant.

A multi-tribal Nation State can remain stable if there is some higher ethic binding the tribes together, as in the United States, but when that higher ethic erodes, the Nation State becomes unstable.This is what is happening in the West, as the very concept of a unique western culture is under attack by the left.

Western Europe and the Anglo-sphere countries are under assault, and are in danger of collapse as internal tribal antipathies are stoked by tribal elements claiming victimhood and demanding recompense by coercing their alleged oppressors into voluntarily assuming the position of victim. A portion of the alleged oppressor tribe will willingly and guiltily assume the role of victim and oppressor simultaneously, but the remaining portion will not, and will resist the efforts of the other tribe, or tribes, to reduce them to subservience, and a flash point is reached and internal tribal warfare erupts, fracturing the Nation State.

Yugoslavia is an example of a pan-tribal Nation State fracturing into its constituent tribal parts, though admittedly Yugoslavia was a manufactured pan-tribal state to begin with. So far Canada has managed to contain tribal Quebec from fracturing the Great White North, but it is only a matter of time before Quebec succeeds in seceding.

The Nation States of Western Europe were mostly homogeneous ethnically and religiously, but inviting great numbers of a competing and hostile religious tribe into their countries is already showing strains in the fabric of nationhood, and will only get worse.

In the United States the competing tribes are ethnic, not religious, and while the Caucasian tribe is still numerically dominant, that dominance is threatened by a low Caucasian birth rate and high birth rates among the two non-Caucasian tribes, the African and Mestizo tribes. It may be that the situation may result in a tripartite balance, and thus remain stable, but if the Caucasian tribe falls substantially below the other two tribes in population, then there will be severe instability and likely violence. Tribal loyalty tops all other loyalties, and it will be well to remember this.

At first I was a family, and then I was a clan

But when I grew into a tribe I then became a man

My tribe then built the city state and built the nations too

And then stepped back with conscious pride for all the world to view

And now my tribe is under siege, and falters in response

But faltering will be short-lived and only for the nonce

If they want war then war they’ll get, they know not what’s in store

My tribe, aroused, will teach them all the Western way of war
