Sustainable Nationalism or Runt Globalism?

Sustainable U.S. nationalism is a prerequisite for creating an ecologically sustainable economy. An ecologically sustainable economy with liberty and economic justice for all citizens requires much intelligence, determination and will to evolve into being. The global economic system would not support many if any necessary reforms and worse-owns the broadcast media acting to defeat U.S. nationalism.

Strong U.S. nationalism is requisite for democratic control rather than gradual subduction under planetary plutonomy. Large nations such as the U.S.A., Russia, China, Australia etc require strong nationalism with a trade differential able to effectively engage with other nations yet retain the power of self-determination. Solely with national political self-determination might democracy elect a new or reformed economic system that reverses the present global economic system methodically destroying the ecosystem of the planet so far as human life goes.

Small nations-the runts, are better off in de facto trade unions preponderantly. Their political self-determination may be overwhelmed by a single global corporation. In banding together carefully they may be able to defend their trade interests better to a limited extent.

The present global economic system is preponderantly above the laws of national democracies and lead rather than follow the law. Recent U.S. Presidents have served as butlers to global corporate interests deregulating where possible ans expediting planetary free trade agreements to allow global economic corporatism the freedom to exploit world resources including people as they deem; even fluidly relocating profit beyond tax accountability. It is a system draining the environment, expanding the human and corporate footprint until no wild spaces remain for wild life on Earth, heating the atmosphere with business and technology gases, concentrating wealth, engendering an aloof elitism and corrupting free enterprise for ordinary people except as it is co-opted to serve the plutonomized-oligharchic global economic structure.

Strong U.S. nationalism is required as the basic entry point for an enlightened democracy with a stable population to elect economic change and regulate it in order to conform to environmental economic criteria for continuing life and economic efficiency.

U.S. voters should vote for objective economic class interests rather than follow bait of race,perversion or gender enhancement. When all Americans have economic justice the former fade away. Full employment within a sustainable eco-economic system developed nationally can serve as a role model for the world to follow. That will never develop within an increasingly globalist environment where democratic changes to the present economic system are impossible. I have elsewhere described that system to a limited extent. It is not socialist. Instead it is a directed economic evolution with business at a certain scale required to conform to ecological criteria. Capital is also progressively taxed with the most rich being no more than 500x wealthier than the most impoverished. Excess tax inflow is invested by the government in environmental restoration, education and space exploration.

The patent system would be reformed and expedited with a public co-op created where inventors could safely market their works to producers.

Corporations would be limited to 5000 employees maximum. Natural selection of good ideas would allow social selection of business models to reinforce. All citizens would have a guaranteed minimum income for several good purposes including letting middle class young people afford an free, self-directed intellectual career without wasting time in menial labor or economic careerism for rent paying. Presently the black culture has yet to evolve a substantial intellectual cultural tradition because of the time required for evolution culturally away from origin in a slave market. As it is inheritance is the best available way for bright young blacks to afford an intellectual liberty without strings or quality reduction and that is usually too late in life and/or rare since fewer pass on significant savings to the next generation in the present globalist economy.

True free intellectuals require financial support. Before electrification priests were often intellectuals drawing from community church financial support. Copernicus (Kopernik) and Gregory Mandel for instance, where Catholic scientists.

There are several varieties of contemporary intellectuals, yet just those with independent if limited financial means are actually free from social structural conformal logic. Intellectuals practicing law or in the film industry have limited degrees of freedom; occupational and professional structures require conformity as needed. A few are fortunate enough to earn enough with little time opportunity-cost to devote themselves to thought and research unobligated.

Free intellectuals with lots of time to research and think are actually very productive- not all become Marxist revolutionaries, join ISIS or follow Hillary Clinton on Twitter. Actually the number of those probably are few.

With a strong U.S. nationalism and secure borders it is theoretically possible that an enlightens populace will vote to office leaders in national ecological economics and full employment with a goal of continuing technological and quality of life progress for all citizens within a recovering environment. Nations, like homeowners that want to turn off lights to save electricity or turn them on for light in the darkness need to flip the switches one at a time rather than everywhere in the home at once. Without strong nationalism where good ecological economic policy and economic justice affording a high quality of life and free enterprise opportunities for all citizens exist developing in one real nation, then another, it is unlikely to develop anywhere-the present global economic unaccountability of the trans-national business environment is far too strong and socially unwilling to relinquish power and turn to better policies on its own that would contradict its own Wall Street logic and investor methods.
