You need a myth (archetypes), ritual (sacrifice), festival (feast), and Law, each of which produce commons most optimum for your people: mindfulness, discounts on cooperation, and material and institutional commons.
Organized Religion is the enemy of man. Truth is enough.

–“A warrior is someone’s child who hasn’t grown up and who can’t share the world with others and must force his will on others. Humans are ALL from an anarchist order where collective decisions are made by direct consensus of tbe entire community. Amarchy isn’t where no one is in charge, it’s where everyone is in charge.”— Did your mommy tell you that fairy story? Are you the child of a single mother? Are you a lower prole? Men rule. Because if they dont, even worse men will rule. And we obtain rule, and preserve rule, by violence, and violence alone. The natural order is that the strong kill, enslave, and enserf the weak. The unnatural order is civilization. Which is why we have so many institutions to try to preserve it. Warriors are usually happy to allow you your fantasies. but never assume for a moment that you are other than the property of some group of men who find greater utility in your freedom than the higher cost of your enserfment or enslavement. He who can destroy a thing, owns the thing. Everything else is permission.

Text: THE DISTILLATION OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION If you would be sovereign, you must fight. If you would be sovereign and win, you must equally confederate. If you would be sovereign and confederate, you must equally compromise. If you would be sovereign and equally compromise, you must equally forgo opportunities for gain at another’s loss. If you would be sovereign and equally forgo equal opportunities to gain at another’s loss, your actions are limited to those that are productive, fully informed, warrantied, and voluntary, and limited to productive externalities. If you limit your actions to those, then the ONLY possible rule is rule by Common, judge-discovered, Natural Law of Non Imposition of Costs, and therefore, voluntary markets in everything: association, cooperation, reproduction, production, production of commons, production of dispute resolution, production of institutions, productions of monuments, production of war, productions of generations, This is Western Civilization: the choice of Sovereignty once made produces all that we have done. Small things in large numbers have vast consequences. If you would be Sovereign, and reap the benefits of Sovereignty, you must fight – fight to deny others all possible alternatives. If you will not fight you cannot be sovereign. You may beg the Sovereigns for commercial liberty, or physical freedom, or charity, in exchange for compensation. But you may never be in fact sovereign. by William Butchman, Eli Harman, and Curt Doolittle

by James Santagata It is very simple. It builds linearly. In the beginning you have a variety of people, but often the most vocal are never the best ,as the best are not attracted or vocal and/or the costs vs benefits are out of whack. Over time, as objectives, reasoning, and so on mature and gel, it grows but initially it is somewhat blind rage and guerilla warfare, dank memes, short cogent logical posts, challenges, marches and some street fights. This serves to shift overton window far to the right,even if it ends up to still be true left. And it shifts again and again. The opponents have to go the opposite way, more left, which makes the gap more clear and triggers more to the left and more to the right. As that happens intra-party conflicts happen but as they are settled, detractors are silenced, shamed or flushed. As it grows, the numbers and quality improve (jumping ahead, the danger is and the fact is, once successful, the charismatic opportunists make a showing). At some point, it hits an inflection point and shifts to be non-linear growth and nonlinear reach and impact. First exponential 10^1, 10^2, 10^3 and then finally geometric, base and exponent both increase. 10^1, 20^2, 40^4, 80^16, etc.

NOT RADICAL INDIVIDUALISM, BUT INDIVIDUAL SOVEREIGNTY AND INTOLERANT FAMILIALISM
—“And I’ll be the first to concede that radical individualism is indeed problematic when you’re faced with collectivists who want you gone, but I do think that individualism is ideal after the threat has been adequately dealt with, and is in keeping with the general ethos of the West.”–Matthew Genack
Radical individualism is just an attack on the very commons that made western civilization competitive. Individual Sovereignty, and Radical Familialism is a better strategy.

EVOLUTIONARY ORIGINS OF MORAL INTUITIONS
Humans are demonstrably amoral (both predatory and productive) as we see fit in the moment. If this was not true we would not need so many institutions to train people on the one hand; and manners, norms, traditions and laws to assist us in cooperating; and parents, neighbors, police, judges, generals and soldiers to insure those manners, norms, traditions, and laws.
We feel (almost all of us) the instinct to lie/cheat/steal/kill, just as we feel (almost all of us) the instinct to tell the truth, to transact honestly, to avoid imposition of costs, and avoid harm. Just as we feel (almost all of us) the instinct to invest in future cooperation and engage in signaling.
The simple truth is that we are so exceptional at creating manners, ethics, morals, traditions, laws and institutions of their defense, that it is almost always inadvisable to violate them rather than engage in productive cooperation, no matter how limited the value or returns on cooperation are to us.
That evolution has provided us with the emotions of pride and fulfillment and shame and fear, when we demonstrate those moral and immoral actions, is simply evolution’s expansion of offspring-defense to the rest of the band, and tribe (now community).
And the value of that expansion of that trait of kin-selection to what we call ‘morality’ is the result of nothing more than the danger of being outcast versus the (absurdly high) rewards of cooperation.
Language evolved (it appears) to increase the (absurdly high) rewards of cooperation.
The adage “many hands make light work” doesn’t include a metric, but Adam Smith gave us one: divsion of labor does not merely increase linearly, but logarithmically such that the labor of one person when spread to ten is on the order of ten THOUSAND times more productive.
In simple terms the better your language(correspondence), the better your verbal ability (iq), the better your division of labor (institutions of property), ad the greater your suppression of free riding, parasitism and predation (crime), the faster you will produce, the more calories you will capture in relation to output, and the more offspring you can afford, the more advanced tools and weapons you can produce.
Hence why tolerance for milk (40% increase in calories form the same production) plus horse+wheel+plus bronze), allowed a small population north of the black sea to spread from spain to china.
ANd why guns, germs, steel, law, and accounting allowed a small population to rapidly rule and transform the world.
The primary problem is that we wish to remain children with a steady state and little stress, when it is the continuous conquest of stresses that provides evolutionary adaptation and innovation.
In other words, our moral sensations are evolutionarily correct, but our work sensations are evolutionarily counter-productive. You cannot save your way out of poverty, nor avoid work your way into prosperity.
