Listening to the Curtis Yarvin interview on the Fire Down Below podcast and there was an interesting point of disagreement that wasn't explored. At around the 45:00 mark Curtis describes how to replace the current regime - a true election.https://www.patreon.com/posts/fire-down-below-53015648 …

One final point. In other interviews Curtis has talked about how Caesar in victory assumed power and the best thing about it was he wasn't the Imperator of Plebians or Optimates but of Rome. In this interview he mentions a story from the end of Caesar's last military conflict.

After the defeat of the last of the Optimate forces led by Cato Caesar's men search Cato's tent and find his chest of letters - letters that would reveal who - though feigning support for Caesar - were secretly backing his enemies.

An opportunity to proscribe those men, seize their wealth and gift it to his followers. Caesar orders those letters burned because, Yarvin explains, he rules Rome now and has no enemies because men bend to power. 5 years Caesar is assassinated by men whose letters he burned.

Augustus does not act with the same mercy towards the old order. He rules for 40 years and dies of natural causes . . . . . . . (or maybe he was poisoned by his wife but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
