Moldbug (whom I would distinguish from Yarvin as you would a comedian's stage persona) in advocating for neocameralism proposed rule by a CEO-king. This person like a conventional CEO would hold great personal power in their organization. Unlike a king the CEO would be elected by the board and responsible to the shareholders. You can read more in the posts about Patchwork.
>Emphasis his
If you mean to emphasize the ruler's gender, I don't think that is right. Moldbug is rather fond of Queen Victoria.

As in, emphasis original; the words italicized in the preceding block quote ("royalism", "King", and "Queen") were italicized by Yarvin/Moldbug, not myself.
I accidentally omitted a newline between the quote and my commentary, and it's too late to edit now.
The Verge: "In one design sketch for Urbit ... has reserved 32 duchies for his exclusive personal benefit."
Me: "The founder is an alt-right philosopher... are shareholders and have voting rights."
If you search for the first sentence of the quote you'll find it.

Aah, thanks for the clarification.
> And all organizations, big or small, public or private, military or civilian, are managed best when managed by a single executive. Hence: royalism. However he or she is selected, the title of such an executive, in a sovereign capacity, is King or Queenβor, at least, anything else is a euphemism.
