not much to be honest, there just appears to be one anon (or a few) who are really interested in it. Crusty Old Nick sometimes calls it Practical Socialism but this when i suspect he gets lonely and forgets to read his Moldbug and de Maistre and Jouvenel and others. there is more to life than industrial power and conquest, and it is for this reason that one would prefer a nice collection of tolerably decadent and diffident monarchs who operate with the understanding that People Rise Up now and again and when they do things get really crazy. i don't actually think having The Leader as The Voice Of The Many is a great idea, because The Many become The Many by giving up that which makes them unique, and interesting, and particular.

the divine right of kings really isn't such a crazy idea, in a sense. having one guy that people look to when things go wrong, a guy responsible for the patch, means that power is diffused and de-romanticized, so that governance is a thing that makes sense. cameralism isn't a built-in Corruption Fix or anything, there's corruption and flattery and tons of other stuff there also.

but a complete industrialization of the state and a workers' party...the only serious version of this in the 21C is China and it's hard to say what the outcome for them will be. Social Credit is a much more sophisticated program for national thought-control than fascism, since now you can punish people who are insufficiently faithful to the national protocol by denying them train tickets or whatever else. but it's completely Orwellian also, and it may mean that other people don't want to do business with you. will it bootstrap them forward technologically by leaps and bounds? maybe, these things do happen. are we already going to get techno-socialized into all kinds of horrible systems in the West without this? yes. are there 4234908 ways to ruin your day thinking about this? yes to that too
