Description

The Neoreactionary Canon, Made Simple – Curtis Yarvin, Nick Land, and the Future of Governance

What if democracy is an illusion? Should voting be restricted? Do elite institutions—media, academia, and government—silently dictate society's course?

These are the questions at the heart of Curtis Yarvin's Neoreactionary Canon and the broader Dark Enlightenment, a movement that challenges democratic ideals and reimagines governance through monarchy, corporate rule, and elite control. Yarvin (formerly Mencius Moldbug) and philosopher Nick Land have shaped debates on power, hierarchy, and statecraft, influencing discussions in tech, politics, and finance.

🔹 Inside this book:
The Cathedral – Yarvin's theory of an unelected intellectual elite that drives progressive ideology
Neocameralism – The idea that nations should be run like corporations, with CEOs instead of elected officials
Suffrage & Rule – Arguments for limiting voting rights and shifting power toward elites
Race, Gender, and Hierarchy – How Yarvin and Land approach human biodiversity, intelligence, and governance
