Plan a clan and survive

After much observation, reading, and thought, I've come to the conclusion that there really is only one natural human society: the extended family, or clan. It is organic, growing naturally. In the west we have ridiculed and abandoned this natural state of organization. This is why the west will fail. Our civilization, however initially well-intentioned, has a singular purpose: the accumulation and subsequent protection of wealth of the individual. We have abandoned the idea of collective wealth. Corporations actively seek to usurp the role of family and clan - to fill the natural gap. The corporation has become the collective; yet, unlike family and friends, the corporation has no sense of loyalty greater than its own personal wealth. The corporation, by law, is an individual, therefore, as members of the corporate collective we are expendable - there is no pleasant way to otherwise explain it. There is no value to be gained from age, hence, early retirement and vanishing pensions. For the corporation a child or non-working spouse is a liability, not the future of the collective. The corporate collective is inorganic; it is a cold legal machine whose only purpose is accumulation of personal wealth. The clan, on the other hand, is a collective with purpose greater than self. The clan benefits from the wisdom of its aged members and knows that it's future is in the hands of its mothers and children. The health of its members is the health of the clan. Therefore, the larger the clan the better.

So, after realizing this I have decided that my main goal in life is to strengthen and grow my own clan. I will use the existing system to generate "personal" wealth and then redistribute it through my clan. The collective family will then use the money to generate more. Hopefully, with time we will be able to abandon national identities and move freely around the globe knowing that our only loyalties are to the family collective. You know, as I write this I realize that the most successful organizations of our time are modeled such: various ethnic mafias. No national ties, no political ties, no religious ties, only the family. This may seem cynical to some of you, but it is the truth and I advise all of you to do the same. There will be more to come on this later.
