This isn ' t a response to your last post so much as to the whole discussion you and uHurrahforKaramazov are having . Which is fascinating . To me and looking at things historically the most natural way people organize themselves is by blood . Family , clan , tribe . Which is related to race but isn ' t so abstracted and undefined and certainly isn ' t nationalist though it is also not its opposite . I think , for instance , of Aelfred the Great who styled himself as king of all the Anglekin , not of Anglelond . It is also inherently consistent with distributism , as it is hierarchical and graded by closeness of relation . Western civilization has been at war with the family for a lot longer than its current assault on marriage . Concepts like race and nation as we currently define the latter themselves obscure blood relations which are far more consistent with human nature .
