Some Notes on Ideology, Politics

First, due to some discussions I have had on internet forums, I want to make a few general statements of the concepts I employ:

I reject the dichotomy between materialism and idealism. The bodily and spiritual health are identical, the states of physical agitation affecting the manifest instinctual reactions and processes of reasoning.

I am not a racialist. Someone actually wondered if I was NSDAP, but - I am Malaysian and Han Chinese; though I consider myself to be Malay. I am a nationalist, in the belief in the moral and practical value of a complex web of personal identity, pragmatic ends, cultural, biological, social and economic connections which arrived at through voluntary agreements reflect the actual values and well being of the ideological and contractual mask they overly. I do not for a moment conceive of expelling the white man from Singapore or Malaysia, if they can live with the common laws and cultural norms they can do or think anything they want. But the community and national ideology reflected by honestly accumulated knowledge will be the party line - it will be reflected in the moral and legal norms.

I am a Futurist, which is not to say Utopian. I am at the establishment of general material conditions required for the improvement of human physical, spiritual, ideological and economic organization. I do not claim to psychically forsee what that will be for any given individual or society, but I do believe that it is possible and desirable. There will be no waiting for the 'final stage of Communism', the State will be abolished instantly. The improvements will be within the lifetime of individuals, advances in all fields will be applied by those best able - and willing - to undertake them.
