Multiculturalism and Moral Relativism
Politics today would appear to be conflating Multicultural with Moral Relativism. As may be convenient for some of them. It is an easy option.
There are three general forms of society as opposed to pure Chaos.
Of these, Authoritarian extending to tyrannous society clearly seeks to impose globalised bigoted conformity.
Set against that there are two forms of society.
One of these may amongst other features, be described as Multicultural, which is to say nations and perhaps other forms of society as centres of particular cultures, but with broad ethical agreement.
But in clear distinction from that is the Moral libertine-relativist wing which relates to individuals in the aggregate. By definition having a minimal social conscience, and a globalised mass culture.

RWStanding, I'd group number three (libertarian)and number one(authoritarian) as one main social order. I'd do so because

1. there is always and inevitably in every society a ruling elite

2. If the ruling elite is not strong enough to control unruly and uncooperative elements in a libertarian culture the society will not be viable.

One of these may amongst other features, be described as Multicultural, which is to say nations and perhaps other forms of society as centres of particular cultures, but with broad ethical agreement.

The liberal society is possible only in situations where there is no great threat against the society from within or from without. The socialist aims to uplift the knowledge, health, general welfare, and empathy of the people so that ordinary individuals are capable of self rule. The capability for self rule includes getting on where possible with foreigners, and with minority groups within the society. This capability for self rule includes reasoning ability and sympathy; and each of those can be taught .
