The Etymology of "Left NeoReactionary" or "Left NRx"

 To break it into the simplest possible parts, each piece is broadly meant thusly:

Left - opposition to the status quo, often but not necessarily socialist in nature
Neo - an appendage meant to signal that several values were scraped from the following word
Reactionary - Ideologue

The issue with Neo-Reactionaries is that they do not go far enough -- their vision is limited, they are not schizophrenic enough to imagine a world without capitalism, and so they simply seek to wind back the clock to an earlier stage -- they cut the wart and leave the root. They simply seek early capitalist accumulation, maintaining the feudal monopoly on violence but cutting down the bureaucratic class from 6% of the population to 0.6% and continuing this farce for another 600 years, always falling into the boom-and-bust mindset. Ultracapitalists, in the end, are simply more liberals- as liberals themselves are simply more ultranationalists and fascists. The entire right-wing carnival consists of one clown wearing a thousand name tags.

This is where the Left comes into the equation -- when you recognize that the system is functioning as intended, it is not “broken” in any meaningful way, it simply has goals and needs which fundamentally conflict with that of the general population and hopefully your own  -- how can you call for it to be perpetuated? To think that modern Liberal Democracy is the best system ever created is comical (it isn’t even the best system currently in operation, familiarize yourself with non-western societies, look to Neo-Zapatismo) and western society has been laser-focused on it’s conception since the Enlightenment. Even modern “dissident” movements like progressivism simply argue about the best way of foisting it on the rest of the world.

Given that the self-described “Reactionaries” have always seemingly been the limp-dicked incest-fetishists bent on re-enslaving 90% of the population, and the Neo-Reactionaries follow in suit, the word Left comes first to ensure you understand that we have looted these concepts. We rifle them from the pockets of a corpse movement shambling along by power of the sheer persistence of grifters, ever-determined to Weekend at Bernie’s their way into power. We know that liberalism is not the peak, and we know that even the people telling us this do so for their own chance at our wallets, and so we are left with the terrifying concept of either building our own future or being forced to speak to minorities and learn about non-western systems.

Through the lens of capitalist realism, "rewinding the clock" to monarchy might not even accomplish that little. The accumulation of information will continue with or without human influence/contribution, and in the same way that Mark Fisher says that Capitalism might function better without supporters, it will function better with the irrational and impulsive humans removed entirely from the equation. Ecocide is an intended feature of the system, a tactical move which has so far reaped incredible benefit and objectively been good for the systems of neoliberalism and capitalism- the cost, comparatively, has been what little they spend on suppressing dissent..

The NeoReactionaries often speak of Whig History, and so, a quick explanation- it is the concept that western society is a perfect model for a people’s development, that it is in fact so perfect that every other must follow in step to achieve enlightened status like us and leave their previous systems of unparalleled savagery behind, that any other form of organization or deviance was primitive and destined to be consumed. This is a joke of a statement to anyone rational, but old white men who claimed to be Enlightened said it was so, And So. It is only natural that this message built to reinforce the western state is itself propagated by the various educational apparatus’ as an objective truth, something that is simply a given.
