Entry: Race, Nationalism, and Patriotism, Part III: Patriotism Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/race_nationalism_and_patriotism_part_iii_patriotism#15920 Post contents: 1. Bede also needs to look up "Natio" in his Pauly. 2. How I wish all of Mr. Richert articles had been as good as this swan song! By and large, I like what I read from him today. To add: The market is exclusively a world market; there isn't any other -- at least for people who wish economically to prosper. The Libertarians know this. That means that Gringos will have to figure out what people in other countries might like to buy, and gringos are likely to have, among a firm's upper management, an Asian Indian, a Japanese, and a Jamaican -- if the firm is to compete in the geo-market. Our racialist nationalists and ethnic nationalists will not be able to do this, and by calling their boss "coolie, g**k, and n****r, they'll be out of a job and living in the projects. They and their children are doomed. Yet rootlessness (a better word, I guess, than déracinément) makes for people with the depth of a pizza pie pan. I've know plenty of cosmopolitans who are five miles wide and one inch deep. So the question Mr. Richert raises is quite complicated. Tory conservatives need to find a way to be both cosmopolitan and local. It's been done before: the poleis of Amalfi, Venice, Genoa, Pisa, Ghent, Antwerp, and the Hansa in general were quite able to be both geo-marketers and local patriots. We can too. Sent at: 2008 07 09
