Curtis Yarvin — aka Mencius Moldbug — is the most controversial political thinker alive. In this interview, he lays out his honest analysis of how the modern West is ruled: not by democracy or elections, but by an entrenched oligarchy of institutions, academia, media and the permanent bureaucracy.

We explore:
– Why democracy is an illusion & always was
– The Fabian takeover & the myth of progress
– Harvard as the ruling class of America
– The origins of managerialism & regime control
– Virology, censorship & the corruption of science
– Revolution, monarchy & the path to reform
