The Dark Enlightenment, also called the neo-reactionary movement (abbreviated to NRx), is an anti-democratic, anti-egalitarian,[1] and reactionary philosophical and political movement.[2] A reaction against Enlightenment values,[3][4][5] it favors a return to traditional societal constructs and forms of government such as absolute monarchism and cameralism.[3] Influenced by libertarianism, the movement advocates for authoritarian capitalist city-states which compete for citizens. Neoreactionaries refer to contemporary liberal society and institutions which they oppose as “the Cathedral”, associating them with the Puritan church, and their goals of egalitarianism and democracy as "the Synopsis". They claim that the Cathedral influences public discourse to promote progressivism and political correctness,[6][7] which they view as a threat to Western civilization.[8][2] The movement also espouses scientific racism, a pseudoscientific view which they claim is suppressed by the Cathedral.[6][7][9][10]

Curtis Yarvin began constructing the basis of the ideology in the late 2000s,[11][12] with Nick Land elaborating and coining the term "Dark Enlightenment". The movement has also had contributions from figures such as venture capitalist Peter Thiel. Despite criticism, the movement has gained traction with parts of Silicon Valley as well as several political figures associated with United States President Donald Trump, including political strategist Steve Bannon, Vice President JD Vance, and Michael Anton.
