Racism in Three Dimensions
We still live in a world that represents ethics as a dichotomy of virtue and vice. Thus with race, there is no alternative but to set an abrogation of race against a glorification of particular races. This does have a certain attraction, in that a world in which racial distinctions are bred to extinction can have no racial conflict. But race is but a constituent of culture in general, and if race is extinguished so can other cultural distinctions that may be abrasive.
We live in a world that is naturally enough concerned to remove material want, but we go beyond that so that increasing material wealth and production rule society. The distinction between wealth arising from progress in technology, and ownership of ever more goods, is entirely blurred. Yet, at some time soon if we survive our greed, there should be no more essential concern for wealth, in an egalitarian world. That will leave nothing for society and people to need, assuming a peaceful world, other than the pursuit of cultural activities and cultural diversity.
With a three dimensional ethic, assuming a degree of peace and tranquillity there are several alternatives. Anarchistic individuality on a global basis must be blind to race and cultural diversity in general, as against globalised fashion. Diversity is a value in diametric opposition to anarchism.
A tyranny of race and culture is one based on the superior race, or inferior races. Equality is set opposed to tyranny.
Altruism [for this purpose] is based on the values of egalitarian diversity. Which can only be ensured within long established societies which happen to be nations and regions of the world.
