Q&A: NAME FOR PROTECTIONISM FOR THE NORMATIVE COMMONS?

—“Curt… Can you help me find the correct term which describes a nationalist state that allows freedom as long as you don’t “go against the nation (the foundation of the nation and the heritage)”.—

Well, you do it with a set of rules (limits) and you give that a name. In the main, you’re describing a nationalist state which exercises the right of exclusion (which is required by natural law) to prohibit non-kin (non nationals) and the contractual (constitutional) provision that one may not export costs of association and trade onto other citizens’s common property:culture.

We have no name that I know of for such a thing other than Nationalism, and nationalism fits. But it is not constrained enough. So we must add the limitation of protectionism. But we must clarify protectionism not of trade but of culture. So I would say Culturally Protectionist Nationalism.

This conveys free trade allowing competition for goods and services, but not competition for culture, just as we do not allow competition for property rights, law, and government.

The Chinese do this aggressively. So do the Muslims. And presently the Russians have started.
