| '''Neoreactionaryism''', also known as the '''Dark Enlightenment''' (Shortened to '''NRx''' and '''DE''' respectively), is a broadly [[File:Reactcross.png]] [[Reactionaryism|reactionary]], economically and culturally far-right and civically varied (But prominently [[File:Post-Bert.png]] [[Neoreactionaryism#Post-Libertarianism|post-libertarian]]) ideology, however, some (Such as Joshua Tait) say that NRx (Mencius Moldbug) is reactionary only in regards of politics, while maintaining positions usually described as socially progressive<ref>[https://academic.oup.com/book/25370/chapter-abstract/192453833 Mencius Moldbug and Neoreaction - Key Thinkers of the Radical Right: Behind the New Threat to Liberal Democracy] by Joshua Tait - pp. 187-203</ref>. NRx originates from the writing of a couple right-wing bloggers from the late 2000's and early 2010's.
| |
| | |
| Neoreactionaryism opposes [[File:Dem.png]] [[democracy]], [[File:Equality.png]] egalitarianism and the common consensus that the progress of history leads to liberty and enlightenment and the abolition of absolutism in favor of democracy and/or constitutional monarchy, considering itself the antithesis of [[File:Enlightenment.png]] [[Enlightenment_Thought|enlightenment thought]]. It is in favor of the re-adoption of systems of governance such as [[File:Abmon.png]] [[Absolute_Monarchism|absolute monarchy]] and [[File:Cameralism.png]] [[cameralism]], or the formation of other systems such as [[File:Neocam.png]] [[neocameralism]].
| |
| | |
| NRx is often associated with [[File:Altr.png]] [[Alt-Right|"race-realism"]], but despite what mainstream sources make an impression of, this is not included in the theory and may be confused on first glance because of risky wording (See [[File:HyperRacism.png]] [[Landian_Accelerationism|hyper-racism]]).
| |
| | |
| NRx has also been described as [[File:Fash.png]] [[Fascism|"neo-fascist"]] by journalists and commentators<ref>[https://qz.com/1007144/the-neo-fascist-philosophy-that-underpins-both-the-alt-right-and-silicon-valley-technophiles The neo-fascist philosophy that underpins both the alt-right and Silicon Valley technophiles] by Olivia Goldhill</ref><ref>[https://thesociologicalreview.org/collections/undisciplining/on-neoreaction On Neoreaction] by Roger Burrows</ref> and is accused to be a major influence on the modern [[File:Altr.png]] [[Alt-Right|"alt-right"]] movement. However, NRx theorists typically denounce the "alt-right" and fascism<ref>[https://graymirror.substack.com/p/monarchism-and-fascism-today Monarchism and Fascism Today] in "Gray Mirror" by Curtis Yarvin</ref>.
| |
| | |
| ==Beliefs==
| |
| | |
| The neoreactionary movement's ideological foundations consist of multiple ideas that are discussed between NRxers but may or may not be shared by all of them.
| |
| | |
| These include, but are not limited to:
| |
| | |
| ===[[File:Post-Bert.png]] Post-Libertarianism===
| |
| | |
| '''Post-libertarianism''' is a school of thought stemming from [[File:Libertarian.png]] [[libertarianism]] that posits that the rule of law is always a necessary step to maintain individual liberty and that since law can only emerge from order, fully embracing the state is an unconditional good towards a freed society. Despite being at odds with "generic" libertarians on the issue of state capacity, post-libertarians are in full agreement with other libertarian ideas, such as affinity towards free markets, opposition to state control of information and skepticism in regards to foreign intervention.
| |
| | |
| ===[[File:Formal.png]] Formalism===
| |
| | |
| '''Formalism''' is the belief that ''actual'' power and ''recognised'' power (Especially in the form of ownership) should align as closely as possible, making allocation of scarce resources stable and predictable, reducing violence socially and between particulars. It advocates to map out existing power relations in "informalist" societies and offering powerful institutions some kind of official compensation to terminate corruption. Formalists are especially skeptical of democratic forms of government, favoring ones [[File:Plutocrat.png]] [[Plutocracy|based on ownership]].
| |
| | |
| ===[[File:Royalism.png]] Royalism===
| |
| | |
| '''Royalism''', sometimes called "legitimism", is the general belief that [[File:Abmon.png]] [[Absolute_Monarchism|absolutist]] systems of governance work best, especially when the line of succession is clear and that rulers explicitly run the state in their personal interest as their property (Which reflects Moldbug's criticism of [[File:Republicanismpix.png]] [[Republicanism|republican]] dictatorship). Royalists don't favor a particular mode of succession, some preferring something akin to an elective monarchy (See [[File:Neocam.png]] neocameralism below), while others may stand for hereditary and/or divine-right monarchy. It is less so an indication of a particular view on the ''de jure'' process of monarchies than it is support for the ''de facto'' "virtues" of monarchism, i.e. stability and order, which NRxers generally associate with freedom and a healthy society.
| |
| | |
| ===[[File:Neocam.png]] Neocameralism===
| |
| :''Main article: [[File:Neocam.png]] [[Neocameralism]]''
| |
| | |
| '''Neocameralism''' is a form of government proposed by Mencius Moldbug and further developed by other thinkers as a replacement for enlightenment-inspired ("demotist") and medieval systems, judged too violent and insecure. Neocameralism is structured around the joint-stock [[File:Corp.png]] [[Corporatocracy|corporate governance]] model, where shareholders, through a board or not, elect an accountable, fiduciary "monarch-CEO" (Which Moldbug calls a "delegate", based on the corporate title used by colonial-era Quakers) with unlimited executive, judicial and legislative power, that they think will best maximize their shared profits by managing the state in the most Pareto-efficient manner. Non-fungible-token (NFT)-based shares, permissive action links (PAL) on the military's weaponery and cryptographic decision and command chains (CDCC) ensure that sovereignty remains secured in the hands of shareholders at all times, such [[File:Cryptogovt.png]] cryptographic measures being reminescent of ''sociétés anonymes'' (SAs).
| |
| | |
| ===[[File:Reservation.png]] Reservationism===
| |
| | |
| '''Reservationism''' is an epistemology proposed by Moldbug to promote an use of reason which is neither reducing or transcending it. It aims to counter "automatisms", tendencies for people to follow one or more overly specific cases of reason and apply them to everything subconsciously, and wrongly so. The most common types identified are:
| |
| *[[File:Automatist-Popularist.png]] '''Popularists''', who assume that reason stems from how fashionable ideas are, the most common being the truest. They tend to support [[File:Dem.png]] [[Democracy|democracy]] and [[File:Pop.png]] [[Populism|populism]]. They are considered to be the most annoying.
| |
| *[[File:Automatist-Literalist.png]] '''Literalists''', who claim that reason originates from how immemorial ideas are, the most ancient being the truest. They tend to support [[File:Theocrat.png]] [[Theocracy_(Disambiguation)|fundamentalism]] and [[File:Trad.png]] [[Traditionalism|traditionalism]]. They are considered to be the most stupid.
| |
| *[[File:Automatist-Algorithmist.png]] '''Algorithmists''', who posit that reason comes from how mathematizable ideas are, the most formulaic being the truest. They tend to support [[File:Scientocracy_Small.png]] [[Scientocracy|scientific policy]] and [[File:Algor.png]] [[Cyberocracy|algocracy]]. They are considered to be the most pernicious.
| |
| *[[File:Automatist-Officialist.png]] '''Officialists''', who state that reason comes from how official ideas are, the most propagandized being the truest. They tend to support [[File:Media.png]] [[Mediacracy|state media]] and [[File:PolState.png]] [[Police_Statism|censorship]]. They are considered to be the most dangerous.
| |
| As said above, NRxers notice that people can often follow several automatisms at once, depending on the social context they live in. For example, someone living in a deeply religious uniform community is likely to be both a [[File:Automatist-Popularist.png]] popularist and a [[File:Automatist-Literalist.png]] literalist, assuming that the overwhelmingly widespread, perennial beliefs around them are true, or alternatively, a person existing within a highly technical and partisan city is predisposed to follow simultaneously [[File:Automatist-Algorithmist.png]] algorithmist and [[File:Automatist-Officialist.png]] officialist ideas at once, convinced of the virtue of governmental experts in their procedures. Moldbug affirms that all combinations can and do exist in the world, with varying degrees of repartition and intensity.
| |
| | |
| ===Neoreactionary Neologisms===
| |
| | |
| The neoreactionary movement came up with a lot of neologisms to describe various concepts. Neologisms are perhaps the most influential thing to come out of the movement, appearing in political discourse outside of its own sphere.
| |
| | |
| The neologisms include:
| |
| | |
| ====[[File:Cathedralism.png]] The Cathedral====
| |
| | |
| '''The Cathedral''', within the context of neoreactionary discourse, is a term used to refer to a society's ''intellectual elite'', meaning a group of people who are able to decide what the average person thinks is ''true or false'', ''right or wrong'' and ''important or unimportant''. Historically, this role was fulfilled by religious institutions, hence the usage of the term "cathedral". This is intentionally contrasted with the institutions that fulfill the role of the cathedral in the modern age, that being schools, [[Scientocracy|universities]], the [[Mediacracy|media]] and the entertainment industry, who largely market themselves as secular. It is worth noting that the cathedral (In its contemporary incarnation) is ''not'' a formal institution that people belong to, but rather an informal, decentralized network of leaders of the before-aforementioned institutions that happen to agree on most important matters (Harvard, The New York Times, Disney and The Guardian rarely disagree, for example), unlike the "deep state" conspiracy theories advanced by [[File:Rpop-tinfoilhat.png]] [[Right-Wing_Populism|populist groups]], claiming the consensus is rather centralized and conscious.
| |
| | |
| ====Pills====
| |
| | |
| *[[File:Redpill.png]] Redpill - Within the context of neoreactionary discourse, a [[File:Redpill.png]] "redpill" is any realization or experience that disconnects an individual from the established "cathedral". The term is a reference to the popular film trilogy [[File:Matrix.png]] ''The Matrix''.
| |
| | |
| The concept of the redpill is '''''THE''''' most influential term to come out of the NRx movement, being practically ubiqutous within political discourse on both the left, right, centre and beyond. The term "redpill" spawned many off-shoots, generally named after the specific realisation the redpill provides (Including terms like [[File:Blackpill.png]] [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/black-pill ''blackpill''] (Pessimism), [[File:Whitepill.png]] [https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=white+pill ''whitepill''] (Optimism), [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/greenpill ''greenpill''] (Parnamormalism) and more) and also the combination with the term "based", forming "based and redpilled". The various pills have also expanded into [[Apoliticism|apolitical]] contexts, especially in dating (Examples of dating-specific pills being the [https://www.reddit.com/r/PurplePillDebate ''purplepill''] and the [https://pcbwiki.net/wiki/Libertarian_Anarchism dogpill]) and fitness (Examples of fitness-specific pills includes the [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-onion-pill ''onionpill'']).
| |
| | |
| A variation on the term "redpill" to have actually come out of the NRx movement is the term "clearpill" which is the concept that the best way to come out to political conclusions is to separate yourself from current political factions you have an emotional attachment to and think about policies and systems in an outside context.
| |
| | |
| ====[[File:IronPolygon.png]] The iron polygon====
| |
| | |
| '''The iron polygon''' is an extension of the concept of the [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f0/Irontriangle.svg iron triangle]. It describes a system of interlocking societal institutions that mutually reinforce each other to maintain the status quo of a particular political order. The iron polygon consists of three main institutions: the cathedral, the corporate-managerial complex and the military-industrial complex.
| |
| *[[File:Cathedralism.png]] '''The Cathedral''' refers to the institutionalized power of the mainstream media, academia and the government bureaucracy, which neoreactionaries see as an interconnected network that perpetuates a progressive and egalitarian ideology. The Cathedral's power is derived from its ability to control the flow of information and shape public opinion.
| |
| *[[File:CMC.png]] '''The Corporate-Managerial Complex''' is the second institution in the iron polygon and it includes large corporations, the financial sector and the managerial class. The neoreactionaryies view this complex as an essential component of the iron polygon, since it helps maintain the dominant political order by providing resources, expertise and access to power.
| |
| *[[File:MIC.png]] '''The Military-Industrial Complex''' is the third institution in the iron polygon. It includes the military, defense contractors and the intelligence agencies. According to the neoreactionaryies, the Military-Industrial Complex provides the necessary force to maintain the political order and protect the interests of the ruling elite.
| |
| Together, these three institutions form the iron polygon, which the neoreactionaryies believe is a self-reinforcing system that is resistant to change or reform. The iron polygon ensures that power remains in the hands of the ruling elite.
| |
| | |
| ====[[File:Red&BlueEmpire.png]] Red and Blue empire [[File:Red&BlueGovt.png]]====
| |
| | |
| Also called the '''red and blue empires/governments''', clipped to '''RedGov''' and '''BlueGov''', it is a specific power analysis of U.S. politics. It is the notion that the United States is not under the control of a single government, but rather of ''two'' each with their own internal and foreign policies, those being the military and police-based "red empire", represented in the U.S. congress by the [[File:RepubUS.png]] [[Conservatism|Republican Party]] and the ''blue empire'' based around every other part of the iron polygon, represented by the [[File:Demcr.png]] [[Big Tent Liberalism|Democratic Party]].
| |
| | |
| ====Triangles====
| |
| | |
| The triangle represents many things to neoreactionaries in terms of political theory, namely, Spandrell's triangle (The trichotomy), modern division of power within republican states and contemporary political theory.
| |
| | |
| =====[[File:Trichotomy.png]] The Trichotomy<ref>[https://youtu.be/Twi_6NgsJWU The neoreactionary trichotomy] by Charlemagne</ref>=====
| |
| | |
| The trichotomy, inspired partly by the "three estates of the realm" which existed during the middle ages, shows the 3 poles of neoreactionaryism: The techno-capitalists, ethno-nationalists and theonomists/traditionalists. These, as the three estates did, are supposed to balance each other.
| |
| | |
| The techno-capitalists, the [[File:Libertarian.png]] libertarian branch of neoreactionary thought, is supposed to protect the freedom of individuals. The [[File:Nation.png]] ethno-nationalists, populist-oriented, are meant to protect the nation where these individuals coexist, and the [[File:Trad.png]] theonomists [[File:Theocrat.png]] are meant to guide and order that nation toward a higher moral and metaphysical aim. Each estate has its own hierarchy, but they nonetheless overlap.

| =====[[File:Republicanismpix.png]] Republican division of power=====
| |
| | |
| Modern [[File:Republicanismpix.png]] republicanism is based on the division of power within government and this has, in most republican states, resulted in the creation of three powers. It is here that neoreactionaries see resemblance, once again, with the three estates.
| |
| | |
| The judicial system is identified as the theocratic branch of the government, "consulting their ancient texts, intoning solemnly to convey the weight of their holy power as they decide what is moral and right for the nobles and commoners" as Nick Land puts it. The executive branch is more closely related to the nobility, or capitalists in modern western nations. Lastly, the congress is meant to represent the third estate and is thus identified by it.
| |
| | |
| =====Political theory=====
| |
| | |
| [[File:Triangular-model.jpg|thumb|left|150x150px|The political triangle.]]
| |
| This political model is also used by Nick Land to explain contemporary politics, where the first state (The "theocrats", which order society toward moral aims, toward "utopia") have descended into what they call "the Cathedral";which N. Land considers "hyper-calvinist", identified as the left of the triangular model. Thereby, the left is unipolar and converges to a single point;while the right (Identified by N. Land as realism, as opposed to utopia) diverges into two points, it is bipolar, divided between individualists;the nobility or capitalists;and collectivists;the working class and nationalists.<ref>[https://poseidonawoke.wordpress.com/tag/nick-land Significant Triangles] by Nick Land</ref>

| ====Unprincipled Exception====
| |
| | |
| An '''unprincipled exception''' is a policy that violates some absolute principle of ethics held by the policymaker,but is not openly acknowledged as such a violation.

| ====Types of Societies<ref>[https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/2008/05/ol4-dr-johnsons-hypothesis An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives, Chapter 4: Dr. Johnson's Hypothesis] by [[File:Curtis_Yarvin.png]] [[Neocameralism|Mencius Moldbug]]</ref>====
| |
| | |
| Moldbug says there are 3 types of societies, according to their relationship between opinion and authority.
| |
| | |
| *[[File:Theocrat.png]] '''The Loyal Society''' is one where public opinion is a matter of state security. Thoughts are categorised in two: bad thoughts, that are dangerous to the safety of the state, and good thoughts, that are useful or irrelevant to the state. People are punished for expressing bad thoughts, and rewarded for expressing good ones. The state supports a set of official information organs which is used to install "good thoughts" and prevent and/or prohibit the spread of "bad thoughts" into the population.
| |
| *[[File:Dem.png]] '''The Society of Consensus''' is a society in which the press and media controls the authority. Its hallmark is the phenomenon of spontaneous coordination, which consists of an information system which in all other respects resembles that of a loyal society, but which is not responsible to any central authority or institution, and operates mostly unconsciously.
| |
| *[[File:Libertarian.png]] '''The Open Society''' is a society where a free market of divergent ideas and institutions compete with one another on the basis of which is closer to reality.
