A “culture” is both the glue that binds any society of humans and lubricates the interactions within that society. It applies as well to a family or an association or a sports club or a company or a geographic area (say a country). The culture of any sub-society – a sub-culture – must be subordinated to that of the larger society it is – or wants to be – part of.
Of course one can have – if one wishes – many different cultures within different sub-societies in a single geographic area. But if these sub-cultures are not subordinated to a larger culture then the sub-societies cannot – because it becomes a fatal contradiction – make up any larger society. Multiculturalism dooms that geographical area to inevitably be a splintered and fractured “greater” society – if at all.
The politically correct “multiculturalism” followed in Europe in recent times has effectively preserved and maintained each ethnic group in its own cultural silo and – inanely – made a virtue out of preventing the evolution of any overriding, common culture. This has been the fundamental, “do-gooding” blunder of the socialist/liberal “democrats” all through Europe. Creating a society of the future with a common culture as the glue has been sacrificed in a quest for some imagined God of Many Cultures. For an immigrant – anywhere – how could it be more important to keep the language of his past rather than to learn the language of his future? The “do-gooders” have prioritised living in the past to creating and living in a new future.
Hence Rotherham and Bradford or Kreuzberg or Rosengård or Les Bosquets,
Multi-ethnic communities particularly need both a glue and a lubricating medium. And that has to be an overriding common – new – culture and not some mish-mash, immiscible collection of sub-cultures – each within its own silo, insulated and held separate from all others.
- Multi-ethnic societies are inevitable around the world.
- A single society has a single culture.
- To have many cultures in one area – which are not subordinated to a larger culture (values) – is to exclude a single society.
- Promoting multiculturalism is to promote the fracturing of that area into many immiscible (inevitably ethnic) societies.
Multi-ethnicity – especially – requires a mono-culture to be a society at all.
Multi-ethnic and multi-cultural is separatism and serves to ensure that a single society will never be established.
