Yarvin has been described as a "neo-reactionary", "neo-monarchist" and "neo-feudalist"

I've seen this for hardcore libertarian. They have one of the most unhinged subreddits. Their mod Derpballz was rather prolific is showing up to random communities with that BS. Bro is currently ban evasion as Irresolution.

"neo-monarchist" "hardcore libertarian" I love it when people have coherent views which aren't self-contradictory.

There's a version of libertarianism where if you rightfully (via all-voluntary process) own a piece of land and make a kingdom there, or create a network of agreements leading to monarchy, it's fine.

The issue is that you can never own territory fully logically rightfully by even Rothbard, so you only can have a voluntary monarchy without territory cause territory is inherently commonly owned, or owned by nobody. A group of people needing some territory to live on can claim as much as they need, but one person who wants to have a kingdom on it - nah. And a voluntary monarchy is not much different from a BDSM orgy, you can have it right now if everybody agrees.

So bog standard ancap is incompatible with this, but there are a few kinds of fascists (or "paleo-libertarians") who have a set of ideas which isn't.
