I will admit that recent events in my life have put race on the forefront of my mind, where it hadn’t been for a while. I’m working on a book on it and will try to keep it to that.

My intro only was to illustrate how my writing would be outside the left/wing paradigm. I’m a utilitarian, not an anarcho-capitalist, and am realistic to see the advantages of a localized, democratic managerial state like those you have in some small cities, towns throughout the West.

My favorite writers are Christopher Hitchens and Ayaan Hirsi Ali, both distinctly outside of the left-right dichotomy, or in a messy place somewhere in it. Give me a chance. You may like what you see.

First, is that by the content, you are preoccupied with race. In any political issue, race obsession is a method of confusing the root issues of the argument, unless the issue was prima facie racial to begin with. Racial pundits’ primary function is to lower the level of debate. This is done to lower the level of conceptual understanding amongst the masses.

Secondly, your mention of nationalism. I fully recognize that you might have mentioned the term ‘nationalism’ to mean “the wrong kind of…” by its apparent context, however, I think what is more likely is that you are more of an anarcho-capitalist style of libertarian who abhors any form of nation-state sovereignty. This type of libertarian in my opinion contributes little in the way of practicality in light of reality. The reality here is that we live in a welfare/warfare state and this form of libertarian chooses to pretend that that does not exist when forming their arguments for no borders or certain forms of property rights. Hopefully I am wrong in this guess.

Third, you have made clear that your mindset is squarely within a left/right paradigm. While I would admit that using thought in the left/right paradigm is practical at times when superficially describing a political situation, you seem to possibly believe that there is a true “left” and “right” in regards to the power elite, to include the power elite ranking members of our national lawmaking bodies.

Hopefully I am wrong about all of this and you will write some enlightened things.

Welcome aboard !
