"more coherent" is key. it's too much to expect any ideology to correspond to all the objective facts of history, economics and society.

sure but not all overlooked facts are created equal the majority of neoreactionaries arrive at command economy with trad characteristics as the solution. As an idea that has big big big problemshttps://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/07/26/a-big-little-idea-called-legibility/ …

Is that where they arrive? Haven't read the full canon, but it doesn't sound like what Land and Moldbug were aiming for.

This looks like a call for autarky, not a command economy.

sure he hasn't said that outright but the fact hes gone from small gov libertarianism to this is telling of general trajectory and fact he's praised companies being run like monarchies in places like his interview with justin murphy points towards command economies

he is pro-leviathan, a friend of mine described him as a "very pessimistic libertarian." but it still seems one of his major endorsements of monarchy is that they are more likely to leave you and your property alone than 'demotic' govts - no?

yes but I'd argue thats just cover for his actual beliefs so libertarians wouldn't react in disgust monarchies weren't small govt cuz they wanted to be, they were small govt cuz technology sucked and enforcement was expensive

I think we're wading into some pretty shaky territory here if we are not attributing good faith to his written works. His written works are his primary contribution to nrx, and if he privately believes something else I can't see how that's falsifiable or or relevant.

I'm extrapolating from his arguments about how order is really good, to the point where he defends natural slavery and "nanogovernance" of people https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/2009/07/why-carlyle-matters/ …

Replying to @xstntlprvrt69 @mutual_ayyde and
I think, fundamentally, nrxers extrapolate freedom from prosperity and stability. Having formal rights, freedom from the state is useless if you are afraid to walk to the grocery store. Fundamentally, it is defended *by* the state, not from it.
