Neoreaction and Curtis Yarvin's Architecture of Power

The article analyzes the neoreactionary movement (NRx), focusing on the theory of Curtis Yarvin. The author contrasts the aesthetics of Bronze Age Pervert with Yarvin's political engineering, which proposes treating the state as a problem of system architecture. A key element is formalism—the strive to identify real control over resources with a formal title of power, intended to eliminate conflicts resulting from democratic fictions. Drawing from programmer culture and libertarianism, Yarvin postulates a transition toward corporate sovereignty and a clear structure of responsibility (the administrator). The text emphasizes the technical reductionism of neoreaction, which reduces politics to a process of 'debugging' the system, while simultaneously pointing to the fundamental problem of power legitimacy in a society of people who are normative subjects.
