Nepali Migrations, Neo-Tribes and Zones of Inferiority

Today we are faced with the issue of Nepali citizens going abroad to foreign countries in search of better employment opportunities, and companies are attracted to Nepali laborers because they can be paid lower wages than the locals. But this inequality in wages may not last long, as Nepali laborers may become politically active in these countries and demand higher wages, and so foreign companies must quickly devise new ways of keeping wages artificially low. To continue to keep wages low in the future, foreign companies need to resort to a new kind of racism, where they deem that foreign immigrants are “inferior” to the local populace and hence should get lower wages than the locals. This racism, and this drive to keep wages low through a specific organization of labor, will ultimately lead to unexpected scenarios in the conception and management of national territories.

The promotion of a kind of concentrated community of each nationality, where each national immigrant populace is kept separate from the rest, enables each national community to be so distinct and isolated from the rest of the populace that the community is compelled to locate in one place, meaning that a mass internal migration ensues where all Nepalis travel to one single region of the foreign nation to live together. For the foreign nation that brings about this mass internal migration event, this new region comprised solely of Nepalis will designate a “zone of inferiority” and the “tribe” of Nepalis will be so distinct from the rest of the locals that they will be given their own set of laws, their own jurisdiction, their own “reserve,” in the coming future. This national reserve results from an appropriation of the native American reserve, and also of the hippie commune, the hippie commune's unique cultural formations being taken even further in these national reserves because of the national territory granting to the neo-tribes their own jurisdiction. Culture will be of great importance, since it is cultural activities which differentiate the neo-tribe from the rest of the populace. Cultural activities that make the neo-tribe even more distinct from the rest will be promoted by the national level authorities.  

Simultaneously will take place a process whereby the big “post-national” companies, industrial estates and big factory complexes are located in the neighborhood of the neo-tribal areas. We use the term tribal precisely because the tribe lacks an organized form of capitalist enterprise and endeavor within its jurisdiction. It is a purely sociocultural sphere, where the leisure time and the time with one's family and community dominate any kind of economic activity to a great degree. Nothing is to be found within the neo-tribal territory except residence and the smallest and most basic of shops. Besides these shops, cultural organizations, such as museums and film studios, will be some of the few labor-demanding organizations to be established in these zones, but these cultural organizations will most likely be low-key and non-profit because any type of capitalist and wage-labor promoting activity is strictly discouraged within these zones, as much as these kinds of activities are very intensely encouraged just outside of the zones. Spending of the wages earned elsewhere is also confined to the enjoyment of the neo-tribal cultural products only in order to discourage resentment which could develop due to high prices outside the neo-tribal zone; consumer spending becomes localized and controlled. And so what appears from the outside to be a zone of "freedom from national law" is increasingly a zone submitted in a number of ways to a national law particularly conceived for that zone, and what appears as a neo-tribal zone composed upon a common sharing of cultural products and practices ultimately becomes a zone of the management of economic labor in which cultural production is a tactic for maintaining peace and control. Unlike the native American reserves running casinos, the neo-tribal territories will not be very economically active. They are like suburbs but comprising people solely of a common national identity, a national identity which is cowering away from the rest of the foreign nation in which they live, in great isolation and in a great communicative relationship with others of the same neo-tribe in order to counter the loneliness. 

A “Nepal-within-a-bigger-nation,” a “nation-within-a-nation” will help capitalists keep wages down for their enterprises. And they will not suffer backlash for "racism" because this type of racism is distinct from the racism we usually imagine. There is no “racial hatred” resulting in violence against the inferior race, meaning that this type of racism entails an appreciation of inferiority, because being inferior becomes a qualification for a job. Appreciation of inferiority is not the same as mobility towards a superior position, and this kind of upward mobility will be discouraged given that the only reason jurisdiction and a separate territory will be given to neo-tribes is because of their supposed inferiority, because they are inferior and hence weak and so they are not perceived as a threat to the bigger national identity. Immigration control will never take place unless there is an alluring economic incentive behind the management of immigrants.
