The Retribalization Of Industrial Civilization

By Thomas Ivan Dahlheimer

The unnatural and inhumane regulation of ordinary people's lives by the elite of large organizations and institutions is necessary for the functioning of the current industrial-technological society.

The media is mostly under the control of large organizations that are integrated into the system. Therefore, to make an impression on society with articles, letters to editors, essays etc. is almost impossible for most individuals and small groups. The result is a sense of powerlessness on the part of non-elite members of society who have an important message or insight to share with others, a message or insight that the elite do not want published or read.

Because of the present-day so-called "free press informational system", a brainwashing system, some activists (not including myself) have come to believe that violent actions are necessary to get their message out to the great multitude of brainwashed servants of the powerful elite.

The current elite-run industrial-technological society cannot, without a great effort by non-violent revolutionaries (like myself), be broken down into freedom-loving, small, autonomous communities, such as primitive tribal communities, because the elite have a system in place wherein production depends on the collective cooperation of very large numbers of people.

During the earliest stage of the industrial-technological society - people lived in harmony with the natural order of human behavior, and did so, by living in primitive tribal communities, wherein their natural human needs were being fulfilled. But then something unnatural and inhumane occurred, the elite of that time came to believe that if they were to break up the primitive tribal communities by separating families from each other - this radical transformation of the system would help it to progress economically, however, by making this radical transformation of the system, they created a system that exists to satisfy the system's needs and not natural human needs.

The elite of the mainline Christian Churches in the U.S. are influencing their people to not live in harmony with the natural order of humane behavior, by not teaching them to transform their lives, by assimilating into the primitive tribal people's culture, a cultural that exists to satisfy natural human needs. This assimilation should have occurred when none-tribal white people of the European industrial-technological society immigrated to the Americas, where the indigenous red TRIBAL people and their homelands were discovered. We still have not - in a civilized and humane way - immigrated into the Americas, however, a belated assimilation/tribalization can and should occurred at this present-time in the evolution of human history.

I am not advocating that people who are now a part of the industrial-technological society return to a primitive, hunting and gathering, tribal lifestyle, but that we should move beyond an excessively elite run form of society to a new form of tribal living. The hippie communal style of the 1960s is not the new form of tribal living that I am advocating, although, I believe that it was a step in the right direction. We need to incorporate the essence of primitive kinship tribalism into the system in order to get the system to exist to satisfy natural human needs.

The current system forces people to behave in ways that are increasingly alien from the natural order of human behavior.

Example 1:
The system needs scientists, mathematicians and engineers. It can't function without them. So heavy pressure is put on children to excel in these fields. It isn't natural for an adolescent to spend most of his/her time sitting at a desk absorbed in study. A normal adolescent wants to spend his/her time in active contact with the real natural world. Among primitive peoples the activities that children are trained to do are in harmony with natural human behavior. Among American Indians, for example, boys were trained in active outdoor pursuits - just the sort of things that boys like. But in our society children are herded into crowded indoor class rooms to study technical subjects, which most do with resentment.

Example 2:
The elite think that they need to prolong young adults' sexual inclinations and behavior in order to efficiently prepare them for occupations in the system. Instead of preparing young adults for marriage, by helping them to stay in harmony with their natural biological time table, as primitive tribal societies did, (young adults married by the age of sixteen) they prolong adolescents, and by doing so, they promote sexual perversion, which causes young adults to have multiple sex partners, which in turn causes a venereal disease health epidemic as well as unwanted pregnancies which in many cases end with abortion. In addition, this problem with the elite also creates a lot of fatherless welfare recipient families.

Example 3:
The government elite regulate education and commerce so that multitudes of ordinary people are pressured into working like mindless machines in factories that product large amounts of unnecessary fossil-fuel-using products that pollute the earth's ecosystems as well as cause many deaths and health problems, and this is another way in which the elite - unnaturally and inhumanely - regulate ordinary people's lives.

Example 4:
And another - unnatural and inhuman - way wherein they regulate ordinary people's lives is by passing building code legislation that forces people to build and live in big, fossil-fuel-using, single-family-dwelling, houses that also pollute the earth's ecosystems as well as cause many deaths and health problems, and in order to buy and maintain big houses they have to work EXTREMELY hard, and this is an unnatural and inhumane hardship-regulation imposed upon them by the elite.

Example 5:
The governmental elite also - in an unnatural and inhumane way - regulate ordinary people's lives - by not introducing and passing legislation to make the automobile industry produce and sell small, fuel-efficient, automobiles. Big automobiles cost more to buy and drive and therefore ordinary people are pressured to work EXTREMELY hard in order make enough money to be able to afford to buy and drive them, and this is another - unnatural and inhumane - hardship-regulation imposed upon ordinary people by the governmental elit.

Because of the constant pressure that the system exerts to unnaturally modify human behavior, there is a gradual increase in the number of people who cannot or will not adjust to society's requirements: fraudulent welfare recipients, youth-gang members, counter-cultural hippies, cultists, anti-government rebels, radical environmentalist saboteurs, dropouts and many other resisters of various kinds.

The current system does not exist to satisfy human needs. Instead, it is human behavior that is being unnaturally modified to fit the needs of the system. Therefore, if the system is not radically transformed, so that it exists to satisfy natural human needs it will soon self-destruct into anarchy.
