Ideological proximity
Closest within Far-Right
Current that combines a market economy, private property, trade openness, and technocracy with low democratic participation, holding that a strong, efficient state should preserve order, stability, and growth.
Model that combines a market economy and private property with a closed political regime, in which the state guarantees order, growth, and stability while restricting civil liberties and political competition.
Intellectual current of Nick Land and Curtis Yarvin that criticizes democracy, egalitarianism and the academic-media "Cathedral", defends autocratic governments and the right of exit, and includes accelerationist strands. Critics also associate it with so-called race realism.
Closest in other spectrums
Model that entrusts the management of the state and the economy to experts and technological efficiency, combining markets, innovation, and technical decisions instead of political deliberation and traditional party competition.
A doctrine of Curtis Yarvin that proposes running the state as a joint-stock company: shareholders, a sovereign CEO, citizens as customers who can leave, guaranteed private property and politics replaced by management.
Synthesis of the Asian Tigers: entrusts government to a merit-recruited technical elite insulated from the vote and guided by results rather than doctrine, combining free trade, open markets and low taxation with strict public order and state planning where it proves effective.
