Are you an American Nationalist or an American Liberal?

4:00  'I am a nationalist': Trump's embrace of controversial label sparks uproar

17:00  Nationalism is government in the national interest. Race does not need to be a factor. If you want race to be a factor, bear in mind that Judaism is divine ethno-nationalism, but even Jews are not up to living in a theocracy and haven't lived in one for 2000 years. 

If Judaism is divine ethno-nationalism, then Islam must be divine civic nationalism. Iran operates sharia and under sharia it has managed to defy the might of America and its allies in a way that it could never have done if it had remained under the Shah of Iran, a Western puppet. 

If Islam is "Judaism Lite", then Secular Koranism is "Islam Lite" being a New School of Sharia as interpreted by me - a non-Muslim, ex-feminist, ex-Liberal and civic nationalist.  

If nationalism is government in the national interest, what is liberalism? We already know even if we managed to get those who identify as liberal and asked them to agree on the principles of liberalism, they will not be able to agree on the Principles of Liberalism in the way Maimonides codified the 13 Principles of Judaism.  

The origins of Liberalism lie in the French Revolution, and the French Revolution represents rejection of monarchy and the mistaken belief that brotherhood is achievable without hierarchy.  

This idea goes against the ideas of Confucius.

The teaching of Confucius consist of five basic relationships in life:


  1. Ruler to subject
  2. Parent to child
  3. Husband to wife
  4. Elder brother to younger brother
  5. Friend to friend

I puzzled over relationship 4 but puzzle no more. Jews should be regarded as the elder brother and gentiles the younger brother. When the proprieties of this relationship is realised and acknowledged, things will finally become clear. 

Nationalism cannot exist without patriarchy. In other words, government in the national interest cannot happen until and unless enough good strong men are produced to defend the national interest. Currently, no Western politician or philosopher cares to discuss this because they are afraid of losing the argument to me, someone who proposes a one-party theocracy. Currently, none of them are prepared to submit to Truth, Logic and Morality because they refuse to acknowledge that Christianity and liberal democracy are now kaput. Things will only improve when a respected political leader,  religious leader or public intellectual is prepared to engage.
