...Even American Democracy needed a bogeyman of Communism/Marxism in order to validate itself.
Human nature is inclined towards tribalism because identity formation relies on degrees of exclusivity of relationships/ties to others. (Family, Community, Nation, Humanity...) Therefore tribalism is not necessarily an exclusively Christian problem.
But if a paradigm is inherently built on supremacist "morality"---for example, Hinduism has a class structure called cast system which confers privileges to the superior caste and allows (morally) for the exploitation of the inferior class.----then one needs to disown/discard such paradigm?---I don't see how it can be reformed.....?......is plugging/integrating some of the inferior class into the class/power structure of the superiors, really going to solve the core problem of the supremacist based ideology? I have doubts because a paradigm/world-view informs all aspects of life from politics, economics, law, social interactions...etc (Intersectionality)
