Out of all the winners of the Reelection of Donald Trump in 2024, the biggest winners in the ruling class was the Right Wing Techno Capitalists like Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Marc Anderson, Peter Theil, and others. This is a section of the ruling class that specializes in technology like social media, AI, robots, space exploration, crypto currencies, and other digital and technological projects. They also diverges from the woke capitalists and neo-liberal sections of the ruling class that have dominated America for last several decades in several different ways but at the same time keep have various similarities that seems to be over looked on the right.

1. Right-wing Techno-Capitalists are less interested in egalitarianism and democracy and, in some cases, like Peter Theil, see these concepts as undermining “liberty.” Not that woke capitalists were ever sincere about these ideas, just that the right-wing techno-capitalists are more honest about them.

2. While the woke capitalist and their neoliberal counterparts seem to wrap their interests around democratic jargon of liberal and progressive intellectuals like Karl Popper, Irving Kristol, Friedrich Hayek, Theodor Adorno,  John Rawls, and John M. Keynes. The Right Wing Techno Capitalists seem to be far more interested in flirting with the anti-democratic ideas of Curtis Yarvin, Hans Herman Hoppe, and Nick Land but unlike some more traditional critiques of democracy from the right like Alain De Benoist, or Patrick Deneen or Russell Kirk or Richard Weaver like figure who would criticize democracy for being majority rule that is manipulated by corporate oligarchs to undermine tradition and local/national sovereignty. Right-wing Techno-capitalists believe it’s undermined capital due to the many regulations, affirmative action, Climate change policies and environmental regulations, and DEI programs that Democrats and equalitarians like to promote. The Right-Wing Wing Techno-Capitalists believe this undermines their efficiency and growth. In fact, it could be argued that is the main reason they are against wokism because it’s inefficient.

 3. Unlike their woke capitalist counterparts like the Soros family and Rockefellers, who have long believed the world is or is becoming overpopulated. The right-wing techno-capitalists take the opposite position, pointing out how the birth rate is in decline in most places and that high birth rates correlate with having a higher GDP and productivity. They are not doing this for socially conservative reasons, like the belief that abortion is wrong because you’re killing a baby, or that it’s a religious or patriotic duty to have a family and children, and their lack of social conservatism explains their pro-immigration position. Musk Telsa company paid for their employee’s travel costs to have abortions and other birth control measures after Roe V Wade was overturned and Peter Theil has long been a supporter of LGBT rights within the Republican party and as mentioned by professor Keith Preston in a recent podcast many of these individuals don’t live a traditional lifestyle with the exception of Vivek Ramaswamy.

 4. Like their woke counterparts, they are avid supporters of AI and transhumanism or the idea of merging man with machine with some even supporting a post human future, but for whatever reason, they don’t make the logical conclusion of transhumanism when it comes to the transgender question. Transhumanists argue that the advancement of technology will help humanity to transcend its natural limits and break down old traditional norms. Through this reasoning, technology will be able to break down differences between the sexes, too. For whatever reason, right-wing techno-capitalists do not come to this conclusion, though, and its not entirely known why. Maybe it’s personal, like in the case of Musk, who has son who became transgender, or they think the technology isn’t there yet and that the current method is to destructive or maybe they believe there is an actual limit to technology’s ability to change people when it comes to gender. Either way it’s a contradiction in there technophile worldview.

5. The Woke Capitalists and the Neo-liberals are die-hard liberal internationalists believing that the world should be completely liberal, with many seeking a one-world government or very shallow nation-states and will engage against any opponent of this project whether it be conservative, communist, theocratic, or nationalistic. The Right Wing Techno-capitalist will occasionally pay some lip service to this as seen in the techno-optimist manifesto by Marc Anderson however whether it be Elon Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy seem to have accepted the multipolar world has come into existence and unlike there woke capitalist counter parts who have done everything they can to prevent this. Do not mind engaging in friendly dialogue with Russia or China and recently voted in favor of a Russian and Chinese resolution in the UN to end the Ukraine War. Nor do they mind engaging in dialogue with other illiberal nations and have little interest in funding or engaging in liberal color revolutions as seen by the dismantling of USAID. Nor are they willing to be devoted allies to liberal Europe when it doesn’t benefit them. That said, the right-wing techno-capitalists still see China as a geopolitical threat and seek to contain it, but there is some doubt they are willing to go to war to do so. But like their most of their neo-liberal counterparts, they are devoted to fighting Iran and allowing Israel to do almost anything it wants, but even here there are some dissenting voices like Ramaswamy who seek to end military support and only provide diplomatic support.

6. Like the Reaganites of the 1980s who called for the gutting of the managerial state and removing regulations, the right-wing techno-capitalists advocate for the same thing. However, unlike the Reaganites who expanded the military and security apparatus while underfunding the welfare and education system. The right-wing techno-capitalists seem much more sincere in this regard as they have already gotten downsize, defunded, and even dismantled various government agencies from USAID to the CIA to even the National Park services. However, like their Reaganite counterparts, they are clearly not interested in cutting corporate managerialism other than the HR departments.  Instead, they hope that minimizing the managerial state will make it easier for them to pursue their own economic interests and not have the state get in the way.

7. One final point is that the right-wing techno-capitalists are far more supportive of nationalist causes than there neoliberal or woke counterparts in the ruling class. The Neoliberal and the woke capitalist far more likely support liberal and internationalist causes only using nationalists who were often separatists like the Syrian Democratic Forces in Syria or the Kosovo Liberation Army in Kosovo to weaken larger nations, making them fracture and far more easier to control. The right-wing techno-capitalists are much more willing to support nationalist causes such as MAGA in America, the AFD in Germany or Reform UK in Britain. This is probably done to undermine the more traditional Neo-Liberal and Woke ruling class in these countries that they have been competing with and hope to gain favor with these nationalist movements. 

A Short Introduction to Accelerationism and Neo-Reactions

No doubt the right-wing techno-capitalists and Populists faction of the Trump coalition did share some similar objectives to each other when it came to electing Donald Trump such as decreasing the influence of the managerial state and the security agencies, end to woke capital and DEI programs,  immigration reform, and moving away from the Neo-Conservative foreign policy particular the idea of nation building and spreading global liberalism. However, just because the two factions share some of the same objectives does not mean they share a similar vision of what society should be.

The Populist faction, while not made of one official ideology but multiple ideologies ranging from Paleo Conservatism to economic nationalists to disenfranchised liberals to religious conservatives to communitarians to more fringe elements like MAGA Communism to people who don’t belong to any ideology or click who just want to see change. But what all of them have in common is the idea that government and the economy should put the nation interest first and by default the people’s interest where its far easier for people to find well-paying jobs that can provide for their families and for America not be involved foreign conflicts and international events that hurt American society and drain its resources. In other words, it is a return to the ideas of the Founding Fathers of America: being a place of social mobility, meritocracy, economic self-efficiency, and freedom from various struggles and foreign interests across the globe.  These ideas largely represent the beliefs and interests of the working class and piety bourgeois or small business owners and the middle class. One of their biggest fears was not only being the managerial state controlling more aspects of their lives via progressive social engineering and the security apparatus but also the corporate side of managerialism, which was best shown in mass uproar from the populist base to Black Rock and Bill Gates in 2020 and 2021 buying up large sections of the housing market and farmland making it far more difficult for people to buy houses, start family farms, and be more reliant on corporations. Another good example was the blowback from the populist base to the ideas of Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum that advocated for the masses to become completely a renter class that rented everything and owned nothing. Not to mention various boycotts of various corporations such as Target and Anheuser-Busch InBev for normalizing various deviant sexualities and transgenderism.

This vision is not shared by the right-wing techno-capitalists who see Trump as a means not only to end managerial state and wokism but to use Trump as a way to expand their own power and in many ways is not much different from what woke capitalism was slowly doing to the middle and working class as in driving them into poverty and make them far more reliant on the system but unlike previous will be more reliant on the corporate class less so on the state.  The Right-Wing Techno-Capitalists, as mentioned earlier, comes from two major thinkers: Nick Land, the man behind the concept of accelerationism, and Curtis Yarvin, who is behind the ideology of Neo-Reaction. While accelerationism and Neo-Reaction are not the same thing, the two ideologies are closely related. Land, who was originally on the left, moved towards neo-reaction during the 2010s as part of his goal of accelerating the growth of technology.

The ideas of accelerationism were formulated in the United Kingdom in the 1990s at the University of Warwick, particularly with a group called the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit that was made up of Nick Land, Sadie Plant, and Mark Fisher. Taking ideas from Karl Marx, Immanuel Kant, Jean Baudrillard, Gilles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari, centering it around capitalism, technology, sci-fi, and futurism.  Accelerationism, put in the simplest of terms, is the ideology that believes capitalism is the main drive of technological advancement that changes all aspects of life and society to capitalist logic, and there is no stopping this process and that this process should be accelerated regardless of the consequences. The end result of this is widely disputed among the various sects of accelerationists; however, we do know that so far, if we look at proto-accelerationist works like On Free Trade by Karl Marx or even portions of the Communist Manifesto, that capital is eroding away the nation-state and the traditional modes of living. Then, if we look at Nick Land’s 1994 work  Meltdown at he states that “nothing human will make it out of the near future,” implying that machines will replace humans or at least that the process of merging humans with machines (transhumanism) will make humans more like machines.  There is also an interesting observation that Land makes about the rapid acceleration of capitalism and technology, which I’ll quote here.

“Meltdown has a place for you as a schizophrenic HIV+ transsexual chinese-latino stim-addicted LA hooker with implanted mirror shades and a bad attitude. Blitzed on a polydrug mix of K-nova, synthetic serotonin, and female orgasm analogs, you have just iced three Turing cops with a highly cinematic 9mm automatic. The residue of animal twang in your nerves transmits imminent quake catastrophe. Zero is coming in, and you’re on the run. [[ ]] Metrophage tunes you into the end of the world. Call it Los Angeles. The government is rotted to its core with narco-capital and collapsing messily. Its recession leaves an urban warscape of communication arteries, fortifications, and free-fire zones, policed by a combination of high-intensity LAPD airmobile forces and borderline-Nazi private security organizations. Along the social fracture-lines multimedia gigabucks tangle sado-masochistically with tracts of dynamic underdevelopment where viral neoleprosy spreads amongst ambient tectonic-tension static. Drifts of densely-semiotized quasi-intelligent garbage twitch and stink in fucked-weather tropical heat. Throughout the derelicted warrens at the heart of darkness feral youth cultures splice neo-rituals with innovated weapons, dangerous drugs, and scavenged infotech. As their skins migrate to machine interfacing they become mottled and reptilian. They kill each other for artificial body-parts, explore the outer reaches of meaningless sex, tinker with their DNA, and listen to LOUD electro-sonic mayhem untouched by human feeling. [[ ]] Shutting-down your identity requires a voyage out to K-space interzone. Zootic affectivity flatlines across a smooth cata-tension plateau and into simulated subversions of the near future, scorched vivid green by alien sex and war. You are drawn into the dripping depths of the net, where dynamic-ice security forces and K-guerillas stalk each other through labyrinthine erogenous zones, tangled in diseased elaborations of desire. Twisted trading-systems have turned the net into a jungle, pulsing with digital diseases, malfunctioning defence packages, commercial predators, headhunters, loa and escaped AIs hiding from Asimov security. Terminal commodity-hyperfetishism implements the denial of humanity as xenosentience in artificial space. [[ ]] [[ ]] Biohazard. For the future of war: study bacteria. Information is their key. Taking down antibiotic defence systems has involved them in every kind of infiltration, net-communicated adaptivity, cryptographic subtlety, plastic modularization, and synergistic coalition. State military apparatuses have no monopoly on bacterial warfare, of which only a minuscule fragment is bacteriological.”

Land also gives far more moderate observations about the coercive nature of capitalism to order and traditional communities, such as his 2021 essay “Rules” which describes how video games are eroding traditional ways of social interaction, such as hanging with people outside, and somehow video games are going be better than traditional social relations. It is hard for anyone from a conservative or nationalist background to take Land as a source of inspiration of why someone should be in support of capitalism. In the 1990s, Land was on the Left of the political spectrum; however, by the 2000s to 2010s, Land, to many, would move to the Right with his 2013 book The Dark Enlightenment that is critical of liberal democracy, egalitarianism, and supportive of the quasi-corporate monarchy to replace the liberal system. Believing that liberal democracy and freedom were no longer compatible due to modern democracy regulating the economy, over-bloated government bureaucracy, promoting dysgenics via mass migration from the third world that is hindering the growth of capitalism that was seen under democracy historically and reliance on political correctness to justify censorship of those who criticize the self-destructive nature of liberal democracy that could eventually lead radicals taking advantage of this sentiment to overthrow capitalism. Similarly, how the war on drugs and the war on terror have created more drug lords and terrorists. Democracy also to Land due to presidents only being elected for short periods of time leads to short-term thinking instead of long-term planning, which creates, at best, half measures that are not effective or, worse, chaos via political mudslinging matches that lead to violence and eventual destabilization.  Land in this work still sees the post-human world as the future, but now, liberalism was not the way to achieve this; instead, Neo-Cameralism or Corporate Monarchy was the answer that falls under the umbrella of Neo-Reaction.  In this corporate monarchy, people would not vote on their representatives but would have the option to leave if they saw the current leadership as unfit and be able to move to another corporate state.

Before Land Dark Enlightenment came several years earlier, in 2007, Curtis Yarin, going by Mencius Moldbug, started his own blog called Unqualified Reservations, which is where Neo-Reaction officially began. Yarvin would not only come up with the idea of Neo-Cameralism but also the idea of the Cathedral. The Cathedral is similar to Marxist intellectual Antonio Gramsci’s cultural hegemony where various institutions such as the managerial state, the university system, NGOs, and mass media promote liberalism through these institutions to maintain managerial state control over the masses. Yarvin’s idea of the Cathedral was inspired by the ideas of  Conservative intellectual James Burnham and the Italian Elitist School who Yarvin helped to reintroduce to the American Right after many conservatives forgot about them after the death of Burnham and the rise of Neo-Conservatism in the 1980s. Yarvin came up with the concept of the inner and outer party where Yarvin identified the Democrat party as the inner party that pushes the social agenda forward while the Republicans are the outer party that is several years behind the inner party and acts as a fake opposition to the inner party. Yarvin was even one if not first person uses the concept of the Red Pill terminology from the movie Matrix. Unlike today were the Red Pill largely used by Manosphere types related to gender Yarvin meets in a broader sense meaning one shattered progressive illusions like democracy and egalitarianism in there entirety.  Yarvin also encouraged people to read older books instead of listening to progressive academics give their hostile opinions on these books and instead judge them for themselves. Yarvin at least in America and in the online sphere was start of the larger American Right and online right to relook into some illiberal thinkers like the Italian Elitist School and Thomas Carlye. To be fair to Yarvin if it wasn’t for him most of the American dissident sphere would taken much longer to discover these older authors and to critically examine modern institutions of power.

At the same time however, it cannot be ignored how Yarvin, Land, and other Neo-Reactionaries actively ignore the Corporate class’s role not only in promoting liberal hegemony and its biggest benefactors with Yarvin actively downplaying the capitalist class role. Along with wanting this class to be the sole element of the ruling class hence the idea of corporate monarchy or Neo-Cameralism. In the case of Nick Land is all to fine with capitalism advancing to the point where people no longer exist. I think the best example of Yarvin actively downplaying the role of the Corporate class role in the ruling class is in his 2008 work “An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressive.”  In which he tries to pass off former President Ronald Reagan and former United Kingdom Prime Minister Margret Thatcher as quasi-dissidents whose policies such as military build up and deregulation went up against the establishment. This is completely ludicrous when both of these policies led to liberal internationalism and economic globalization which did anything but help dissidents or preserve a traditional society. Not to mention military build-up expanded the state power that Yarvin claims to be against.  This defense of economic liberalism hasn’t changed in Yarvin recently either as in a debate with Marxist Ben Burges and his essay in 2021 “There is no AI Risk”, Yarvin actively denied that Jeff Bezos the owner of the Washington Post could change the policies, and candidates that post endorsed. A few years later Bezos actively ordered the post not to endorse anyone for the 2024 presidential election proving Yarvin dead wrong. Yarvin also blatantly ignores how corporate backers have been the main backers of this liberal order which has been pointed out dozens of times on this blog and the populists movement and wokism only began role back when these corporations abandoned it. 

The reason for this lack of a critique of capitalism and corporations is that Neo-Reaction at its core is for the benefit of corporations, especially the ones that specialize in technology from silicon valley. This is very obvious by both Yarvin and Land’s idea of a corporate monarchy where corporations would have city-states to nations they control were sole motive is to maximize profit and the people have no say on matters similar to a company town that existed in America during the late 19^th and early 20^th century. Yarvin also very clearly did not have the same interest as many social conservatives and populists for that matter as Yarvin stated on numerous occasions he was fine with gay marriage, abortion, and drug legalization. Along with calling for the Populists to not antagonize the liberal order and let the techno capitalists deal with it as shown in his clear pill series. Not to mention everything mentioned about Land previously is proof enough that he does not have the interest of social conservatives, populists, and nationalists in mind. Yet for a while many in the Neo Reaction blogging scene such as Spandrell who came up with the concept of the Neo Reaction Trichotomy that is made up of three groups that make up Neo-Reaction including the Techno-Capitalists, Ethnic Nationalists, and traditionalists or social conservatives as being three main groups that have a gripe with the current liberal order and with there combine efforts would bring it down and moderate the other. The concept is extremely similar to that of National Review intellectual Frank Meyer’s Fusionism which combined anti-communists, libertarianism, and social conservatives into one coalition that ended up dominating the Republican Party with the election of Ronald Reagan in 1979.

The Techno-Capitalist embrace of Neo-Reaction and Accelerationism

The American Techno-Capitalists and the larger ruling capitalist class did not embrace Neo-Reaction or Accelerationism when Yarvin began writing in 2007. In fact, the ideas of Yarvin, Land, and other Neo-Reactionaries were largely originally spread by online right-wing traditional catholic personalities such as Dave the Distrubutist, Endeavor, and Charlemagne. People far away from the ruling class circles of Silicon Valley that Yarvin and the larger Neo-Reaction seen wanted to appeal to. Neo-reaction would also be demonized by mainstream media as “white nationalist” or “neo-fascist” claims that are largely unfounded. In 2015 Yarvin and many other Neo-Reactionary bloggers would abandon writing for several years.  Yarvin himself though is from the same class of people he wants to influence as he founded Urbit a computer platform that hosts personal servers. Around the late 2000s when Yarvin began his blogging career a member of those techno-capitalists began to have some similar ideas to Yarvin and his Neo-Reactionary followers namely the venture capitalist and founder of PayPal Peter Theil.

Peter Theil in 2009 gave a speech in 2009 to the libertarian Cato Institute titled The Education of a Libertarian about how Freedom and Democracy were becoming incompatible with each other. Theil stresses in his speech that there is a race between technology and politics/ democracy. That democracy due to how unpopular capitalism was among the masses especially after the 2008 financial crisis was making the state grow ever larger having more influence on the economy via regulations and the welfare state and authoritarian via the war on drugs and using people’s money to bail out reckless companies. Democracy was also creating more political polarization that could violence and unrest that would create more state control and further undermine the free market. Democratic Capitalism according to Theil had become an oxymoron after the 1920s and therefore was the last time one could be optimistic about politics. To Theil, the way to escape this authoritarianism was through cyberspace, actual outer space, or the oceans where the government had little authority and could be places to actively undermine the government. Such as being new places of dissent and new currencies that aren’t controlled by the state.

Peter Theil speech would not go unknown notice by Neo-Reactionary particularly Nick Land who would quote Theil in the Dark Enlightenment. It is not exactly clear when Theil would first come into contact with Yarvin or his ideas but we do know that Theil along with another Techno-capitalist who would embrace Neo-Reaction Andreessen Horowitz would begin funding Yarvin company Urbit in 2018 and by 2020 Yarvin would begin blogging again under a new blog Grey Mirror with Theil’s support.  Theil is not just important in fact that he was the financial backer of Yarvin and his ideas but has been a long-time donor in the Republican Party but also around the same time as he started to fund Yarvin but also came into contact with future vice president JD Vance in 2019 when Vance founded Narya Capital with financial backing from Theil and Horowitz. Theil would also donate 10 million dollars to Vance’s 2022 race for Senator of Ohio. Its not exactly clear when Vance was introduced to Yarvin but its likely Theil was the one to introduce him to the blogger as Vance has made references to him on a few occasions and Vance mentioning at one point that he got the idea of dismantling deep state from an obscure blogger back in 2021.

In the 2010s into 2021, it would appear that Curtis Yarvin and Peter Thiel were lonely voices inside their subsection of the capitalist class as political correctness, censorship, and social progressivism were rampant among their fellow Techno-Capitalists that they were trying to help. Many Yarvin followers at their time would also face this censorship despite their pro-techno capitalist stance. But afterwards, starting in 2022 into the present, it appeared to be a whole new generation of Techno-Capitalists who started to adopt their ideas or at the very least began to move away from wokism, such as Garry Tan, Marc Andreessen, Based Beff Jezos, JD Vance, Bill Ackman, and Elon Musk. Who began to break up the monopoly that wokism had on the techno-capitalists, and started a whole new era of accelerationist blogs and articles, often called Effective Accelerationism or E/ACC. In 2022, Elon Musk bought Twitter and removed many of the speech restrictions, showing another sign of drift within the ruling class. Marc Andreessen would write his Techno Optimist Manifesto in 2023, which cited Nick Land as a source of inspiration, signifying that the ruling class was taking influence from accelerationist ideas. Unlike before, they are far more influential in ruling class circles than previously, even having influence in the current Trump administration. These individuals held numerous complaints against liberal progressivism, and wokism such as the growth of crime, its attacks on Israel, supporting a costly war in Ukraine but of course the main criticism was that wokism holding back economic growth and technology advancement by being in support of regulation, degrowth, climate change alarmism and larger idea of Share Holder Capitalism promoted by Klaus Shwab that promotes businesses promoting the interest of all stakeholders above maximizing profit which put various restrictions and limitations on capitalism growth and technological expansion. They are also against open borders; however, they are for mass migration from countries that are considered high IQ or have knowledge of computers and other technologies in order to offset the low birth rates of the native population that lives in the city which helps to create this technology. Under this belief, this will accelerate the development of AI that will replace this workforce eventually. This concept is usually called the IQ Shredder. The advancement of technology is the similarity between the Right-Wing Techno-Capitalist and the progressive neo-liberal capitalists; it’s just that the means to go about this are a bit different. Both are under the impression that AI and technological advancement will not only produce more profit for them but also continue to consolidate their control over society. When the 2024 election came around, many of these individuals actively endorsed Trump and supported him financially, with some techno and financial capitalists like David Sacks and Elon Musk making their way into the Trump Administration.

The Populists

There is an obvious contradiction between the alliance of Populists and the Right Wing Techno-Capitalists that Donald Trump has brought together. While they share a common enemy of the Progressive Neo-liberals, their ideals are far different, as stated in one of the previous sections. The AI revolution and rapid advancement of technology are going to replace millions of jobs that American workers do to provide for their families. Such job replacement, especially if it happens rapidly, will cause the same issues that outsourcing and globalization caused, such as the disintegration of the family and local communities, and the increase in alcohol and drug abuse. That, for some reason, people in the Trump administration, such as JD Vance, do not want to admit. Which is not even going over the fact that AI is making people lazy, having it write their essays, do math equations, create art, etc, making people over reliant on AI and unwilling to learn. Making the population dumber and more easier to control. Not to mention, it’s already been shown that popular AI such as Chat GPT and Grammarly have liberal bias, such as when Chat GPT refused to write negatively about Hunter Biden.

While many of these right-wing techno-capitalists like Marc Andreessen and Garry Tan who have embraced accelerationism and have written that AI and technology will not replace humans and will be for the benefit of humanity. This either shows they have not seriously read Nick Land’s work, who on numerous occasions, such as in Meltdown, IQ Shredders, and elsewhere, has stated otherwise. Even the person who came up with the E/ACC, Based Beff Jezzos or Guillaume Verdon in Notes on E/ACC Principles and Tenants, actively stated as such too: “e/acc has no particular allegiance to the biological substrate for intelligence and life, in contrast to transhumanism. Parts of e/acc (e.g. Beff) consider ourselves post-humanists; in order to spread to the stars, the light of consciousness/intelligence will have to be transduced to non-biological substrates.” Either Andreessen has not seriously read accelerationists’ work, nor has he seriously seen how rapid advancement of technology has displaced people as it did during the Industrial Revolution or he is actively lying. At least older generations of accelerationists and proto-accelerationists like Land and futurists like F. T Marinetti were openly honest about the destructive nature of technology to human social relations.

If we were to talk about Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land’s idea of Neo-Cameralism or corporate monarchy, which they try to pass off as a successor to the traditional feudal order that liberalism replaced, however, they want to replace liberalism with the same force that destroyed the feudal order, i.e., capitalism. The rapid advancements of technology under capitalism and what Yarvin and Land want to accelerate will not guarantee what the traditional feudal order provided through the guild system, that protected members’ jobs and trade secrets, and a sense of local community bind by Catholicism and shared since of identity that the medieval order had that even members of the Frankfurt School like Erich Fromm do not deny. Nor were the Kings solely concerned about making profit, with many being strong believers in traditional Christianity and spreading of there faith. This corporate monarchy sounds more like a company town of the late 19^th century and early 20^th century than that of the traditional feudal order. Where workers were abused and marginalized, and even killed when they did not do what the company wished. Elon Musk is already trying to create Company Towns in Texas, called Starbase, and Snail Brooks, all be it I don’t think Musk would want to mimic previous company towns. It is also not hard to see the similarities between Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum’s ideas of stakeholder capitalism, where corporations own everything, and the average person is a renter. The only differences are that WEF pretends that everyone will benefit and not to be just in place to maximize profit, while Yarvin states that this would be a local system, even though most corporations are national and international, and claiming that people can leave corporate cities freely, as if there is any real way to guarantee that.

Of course, this is not going over how the Trump administration, through the Musk DOGE Department, is cutting things such as the Park Services that preserves the natural beauty of our country, or how Trump has pushed crypto currencies that aren’t backed by anything with him launching his own coin that immediately lost almost all value when his wife launched her own coin. Costing many of his own supporters money, not to mention crypto is notorious for having insider trading with major investors pulling out after it gains enough relevance that it costs everyone else significant financial loss, like what happened to the President of Argentina, Javier Milei, when he endorsed a cryptocurrency. Nor does it go over how Trump has continued the war in the Middle East via his bombing of Yemen, which these Neo-reactionaries and accelerationists support, going back on his promise to get America out of conflict. Not to mention Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s stunt on H-1 B-Visas that they pull on Christmas of 2024. All of which runs contrary to what the Social Conservatives and Populists want.

Conclusion

This isn’t to say that the Populist faction of the Trump coalition should start to support the radical progressive actions against Tesla and its customers. As these radical simple want a return to woke capitalism as they defend free trade, open borders, Dei, and political correctness, and are probably supported by elements of that ruling class that still support progressive causes like the Soros Family, and Reid Hoffenheim. Nor should we discount radical progressivism being completely out of fashion after all, sizeable elements of the population still believe in it, and if Trump completely destroys the economy through his trade war with China, we may see them regain power. Nor is this say that everything that Trump has done so far is bad but rather we need look more critically at the people he surrounds himself with and not treat him as some sort of deity and for what its worth Trump and other like Elon Musk did help mainstream many populists ideas and sentiments however that does mean they will push them to their logical conclusions. The quicker the populist faction abandons faith in the capitalists and the GOP, the better. The only conservative thing about corporations, as Russell Kirk once said, is their will to preserve their profit, and the quicker they can return America to an independent and free nation. As Alexander Dugin said after January 6^th, “Trumpism (populism) is much more important than Trump himself. Trump has the merit to start the process. Now we need to go further.” Fortunately, it does not seem all populists are uncritical of the Trump administration as Tucker Carlson, Pedro Gonzales, Steven Bannon, Mark Dice, Chronicles Magazine, and the American Conservative have all been vocally critical of various Trump polices and the AI revolution. These factions need a cohesive alternative and a leader, but I have no idea who that will be. However, the mass displacement of the workforce that will come with AI will affect both the working and upper middle classes, creating the will for revolutionary change among the classes, as AI will displace many well-educated and talented potential elite who would have had a chance at power before the AI revolution. These people will be our leaders in this radical change.

Update on the Blog

This will be my last post for a while as I have other events going on in my life that need my attention. I do not know when or if I’ll be writing, but I will still be around checking on the blog, every once in a while.
