In a pluralistic society, achieving the consensus necessary for a central authority becomes difficult. Having an institution that accurately and fairly enforces that consensus is even more elusive. Further, most people want the organic type of society where agreement is forged and people act collaboratively. Institutional society makes its own conclusions, and then coerces the citizenry to obey them with reward and threat.

Modern governments inevitably break down into tyranny because without that organic agreement, increasing numbers of their population deviate from the bureaucratic norms. A widening cycle of punishment and indoctrination occurs until the government is completely alienated from the people, and disorganized because it cannot attract good people. At that point, it collapses into authoritarianism.

Pragmatism is a new concept in government. We suggest that government abandon its institutional role, and instead become a provider of services, and that we allow local organic communities to decide their own standards. In other words, government needs to get out of the morality and conformity enforcement business, and focus on the services we really need: protection from criminals, defense against other powers, and regulation of infrastructure like roads and water supplies.

New Hampshire: Buy Guns or Die

RADICAL TRADITIONALISM:

1. Resacralization of the world versus materialism.
2. Natural social hierarchy versus an artificial hierarchy based on wealth.
3. The tribal community versus the nation-state.
4. Stewardship of the earth versus the "maximization of resources."
5. A harmonious relationship between men and women versus the "war between the sexes."
6. Handicraft and artisanship versus industrial mass-production.

"Whether they're the Marxist/Communist/Socialist people who think that humans want to get along on a grand scale, or whether it's the Nazis, who think that if everyone was just of the same race, they'd all get along perfectly, or the anarchists, who think everyone would love to live this way if you just took away the police.

They're all deluded. People should worry about what happens on their block. They should get along with their neighbors before they worry about the great ills of society and about telling someone who lives 200 miles away what to do."- Moynihan

and to all you poor bastards that live in the city, you have a lot to worry about.
