There are no tribes in America except American Indian tribes. Yes tribes were collective in nature. But modernity brought about the rise of the Middle Class and the Industrial Working Class not the middle tribe. Marxists oppose the bourgeoisie middle class (nuclear family). What happened after the New Deal was the rise of a second middle class - the Knowledge Class comprised of intellectuals, academics, professionals, heath and social welfare workers and the unionized working class. This second middle class is almost entirely dependent on government outlays and has class resentment toward Capitalists. They believe they have superior knowledge and thus have a monopoly on running government. This resentment is a social marker of their class consciousness (Marx). Communism is a revolt against alienation but alienation is what gives us freedom from tribes, clans, castes, social classes and totalitarianism. Property rights adhere to individuals, husband and wives, limited liability companies and corporations, not to tribes. I understand what you are driving at when using the word “tribe” but one must understand their adversary. And to understand them is to become aware that they are an adversarial Middle Class that needs to rule over the Private Middle Class and industrial Working Class in order to extract resources for their livelihood. Class, not tribe.
Well said. I am just getting the concept of tribalism in my mind and you have expanded on it.
