I think Chris is missing the arguments that are being made against his vision, and it's a lot deeper than mere anti-colonialism.
It's actually the worship of tribal societies, dating back to at least Rousseau, as described in this superb essay/lecture from an Australian anthropologist back in 1997, posted over at the Basset, Brash & Hide blog
