It seems like to me what all the major reactionary illiberal movements of the 21st century share in common. Whether it's Dugin's 4th political theory or the neoreactionaries within the US. All share in common the idea that the entirety of the enlightenment is a failure and the only alternative is to return to what preceded it.

It seems like to me they have essentially taken the liberal end of History that all alternatives have been tried and failed one step further. By concluding that liberalism is also a failure and the only alternative is to return to what came before liberalism. To tradition.

Honestly I genuinely think the liberal end of History that was declared at the end of the Cold war was one of the worst messages that could have been delivered on the global scale. Since it was a fundamentally conservative message that killed off any radical imagination. Any imagination of achieving a post scarcity future beyond capitalism.

What we need to do is revive the future. To show the possibility that we can achieve a post scarcity civilization beyond capitalism. If liberalism represents the present and reactionary illiberalism represents the past we must represent the future.

The truth is in the 21st century there's only two major ideologies that exist. That being liberalism and reactionary illiberalism. The battle between the eternal present and the revolt against modernity. With Russia, the PRC and the neoreactionary faction of the Republican party within the US representing reactionary illiberalism. While the European Union and the Democratic party of the US representing liberalism.

That both online tankies and fascists are both slices of reactionary illiberalism. Since they are both funded by Russia and repeat the same Russian propaganda. The problem with this is that liberalism cannot be the only opposition to reactionary illiberalism. Because liberalism is not purely progressive and because of that it's cracks and flaws make it easy for reactionary illiberals to point to and turn people away from it.

What is needed to defeat the rising tide of reactionary illiberalism is a revolutionary progressivism. Something that is purely progressive. The problem with this is that currently there is no ideology that's purely progressive. The closest thing there is anarchism. Since anarchism's opposition to hierarchy makes it immune to social and systematic conservatism.

But it's one blind spot is on forms of oppression outside of hierarchy such as natural constraints. Which is where you get conservative forms of anarchism like primitivism. I think what we need is an ideology that goes beyond just opposing hierarchy but all constraints including natural ones. We need a radical left transhumanism that opposes all constraints including natural ones. To fight for the freedom of the individual to do and be anything. Including changing and modifying their form to their true selves.

"Trump🚨just endorsed a post calling for the arrests of Chris Wray and Merrick Garland.

There's almost no media coverage of the sitting president supporting the arrest of a former FBI director and former Attorney General."
-K Griffin

My search for media outlets acknowledging Trump's support of the arrest of Wray & Garland: Newsmax & Fox News, but thankfully I found:⚡Meidas News.
