The most amazing thing about Yarvis ideas, and the article itself, is that they clearly say that CEOs are antidemocratic autocrats. Why should this be accepted in a democratic society?



I always understood yarvin to view democracy in an unfavorable light.


It should not. It's crazy that we even need to have this conversation, but here we are. Big question is whether Trump is what holds all this together, and whether it falls apart when he's gone.


Couldn't you say the same thing about parents?


No. In most countries there are laws restricting what parents can do.

On the other hand, nobody is proposing a father figure running a country, so I don't see the connection here.


>nobody is proposing a father figure running a country

Nobody? Isn't that one of the oldest job descriptions or similes for a ruler?

Hell, even Stalin was addressed as "loving father".


You're saying that CEOs shouldn't be accepted in a democratic society? Because CEOs also have laws restricting what they can do
