Anonymous asked: I mean neoreaction is just an evolution of anarcho-capitalist ideas. Look at Peter Thiel: utterly typical alt-right person and also utterly typical libertarian person, and it's the same qualities and opinions that make him utterly typical of each. It just stands to reason that the alt-right and libertarians are of a kind. I think the alt-right are on an upswing and a lot of libertarians are going to join their ranks over the next decade.

Anarchocapitalism motivated by a desire to live in a specific way (get the government out of my patriarchy) instead of universal freedom is pretty easy to see as naturally evolving into NRx (get my patriarchy into the government).

For example Hoppe being like:

wirehead-wannabe:

Maybe my confusion is a consequence of not having read any Thiel, but I have no idea how you could go from ancapism to NRX. “Everyone should be able to make deals on their own without government influence.” Versus “we should bring back the monarchy and patriarchy.”

In a covenant concluded among proprietor and community tenants for the purpose of protecting their private property, no such thing as a right to free (unlimited) speech exists, not even to unlimited speech on one’s own tenant-property. One may say innumerable things and promote almost any idea under the sun, but naturally no one is permitted to advocate ideas contrary to the very purpose of the covenant of preserving and protecting private property, such as democracy and communism. There can be no tolerance toward democrats and communists in a libertarian social order. They will have to be physically separated and expelled from society. Likewise, in a covenant founded for the purpose of protecting family and kin, there can be no tolerance toward those habitually promoting lifestyles incompatible with this goal. They – the advocates of alternative, non-family and kin-centered lifestyles such as, for instance, individual hedonism, parasitism, nature-environment worship, homosexuality, or communism – will have to be physically removed from society, too, if one is to maintain a libertarian order

And such an attitude lends itself really well for reactionary bullshit. Especially if the balance of the proposal “okay everyone goes their own way and that’s fucking it” is broken and they start believing the authoritarian theory of government (that anything worth doing must be done with violence) if they aren’t allowed to do their kinks in peace with other consenting adults. If you remove a conservative ancap’s belief in the possibility of freedom the natural outcome is NRx who wants to impose their desired lifestyle upon everyone else instead of having everyone else’s desired lifestyle imposed upon them.

And I could rant massively about how this isn’t exactly surprising; regardless of whether it’s actually true or not, the horrendously code-bloated modern socdem state allows a lot of people to sincerely perceive themselves as the innocent victims of evily moochers and if the only alternative they see is a different oppression, not freedom, then that’s what they’ll support.
