WHO WE ARE
The Royal International Brotherhood of Neo-Reactionists is a body of scholars and leaders who support the ideology of Neo-Reactionism. We are not a political alliance and act independent of governments, though we do serve to lobby and influence governments through education and discussion.
The Brotherhood itself is made up of various Departments, based in the respective country of their members. The Departments act independent of one another, but cooperate to defend and explain the ideology and handle matters of appropriate clarification.
WHAT IS NEO-REACTIONISM
Neo-Reactionism is an ideology that seeks to support the institution, expansion or consolidation of monarchies or monarchical bodies. However, it likewise permits some democratic elements to form within the government.
We uphold the following truths regarding the monarch and his role in the state:
1) The monarch serves as head-of-state for the country and commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
2) The monarch serves as a national symbol and chief representative of the nation when abroad.
3) The monarch serves as the prime and chief patron of the nation's culture, industry and business.
4) The monarch serves as the model for the average citizen in terms of personal and family life.
Neo-Reactionism is not opposed to democracy in toto. Neo-Reactionism permits a representative body within the government similar to that found in consitutional or federal monarchies. Neo-Reactionists support the introduction and establishment of democratic bodies within a monarchial society provided the authority of the monarch - especially as head of state - is not threatened. The only two things a democratic body are not allowed to do are remove a monarch from power, and install one of their own as head-of-state.
Neo-Reactionism does oppose "conventional democracy," wherein a democratically elected body is the only form of government, even with an elected head. We argue that, just as a democratically elected body can temper the power of a monarch, a centralized, stable government leader is necessary for tempering the power of a democratic body. We also argue that a lack of this causes a democracy to either fall into an oligarchy, where the elected leaders run the nation for their own or party interests, or a "mobocracy," where every whim of individual populations are met rather than the needs of the nation as a whole.
Neo-Reactionism is staunchly opposed to what we call "collective" politics. This includes communism, fascism, various forms of socialism, and otherwise, all of which seek to unify or unite all people within a nation and serve all people within a nation. It perceives it as a threat not only to the strength of the monarchy, but to the nation as a whole. We argue that monarchies can permit individual freedoms far more than collective politics could.
Unlike previous forms of reactionism, Neo-Reactionism does not condemn the advancement of technology, and in fact approves it. It encourages monarchs to fund research and development for all levels of society.
