This is the FAQ from DogeZone.zone, annotated with sources (also collected here; crash course here). Spreading information about DOGE's neoreactionary vision was the goal of the project.

QUESTION: Why are you so interested in slashing spending and cutting costs?

ANSWER! We're not. As it says at the top of the DOGE website: The people voted for major REFORM. But REAL reform is NOT about cutting some fraud. Real reform is destroying what's broken and replacing it with a better, fail-proof system.

What's broken is democracy. And destroying it is the only way to improve things. [1]

QUESTION: I hear people say things like "This isn't a strategy, it's destruction" or "Destruction isn't a strategy."

ANSWER! They're right: Destruction isn't the strategy; it's merely a tactic. Don't get caught up in arguments with people who don't understand strategy, or who mistake tactics for strategy.

QUESTION: OK, then what's your strategy?

ANSWER! Democracy is a legacy system that's utterly deprecated — which in computer-speak means that it sucks, especially for the biggest stakeholders in America. And so our strategy is quite simple: replace democracy with something much better.

"What's better?" you might ask. You might even remember the old Churchill quote: "Democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms."

Well actually no, Winsty. There's actually better — a lot better, for those with the biggest stakes. And what's better is all around you.

QUESTION: Hunh?

ANSWER! Go ahead, look around you right now. If you're reading this on a computer, or on a smartphone, look at that. If you're sitting on a chair, look at that. If an incandescent or LED lightbulb is helping you see, look at that. If the building you're in is built on concrete foundations, look at those. All of these things were developed and produced not by democracies — but by monarchies.

That's right: every company is a monarchy, with a strict top-down hierarchy, and lower tiers very obedient to the upper tiers, all the way up to the top: all the way up to the CEO — the monarch! [1]

Imagine if you had to depend for the production of all the wonderful things you use every day — your smartphone, your cybertruck, even your laxatives — not on a series of little monarchies, but on one big democracy. How about a Department of Computer Technology, or a Department of Trucks, or a Department of Effective Bowel Release? Imagine! [1]

It follows very directly that for the very most important things — public health and well-being, the safety and functioning of our cities, scientific development that companies can use to package and market drugs, or even to send people spaceward — we should also depend on a monarchy — and not on an ass-backwards democracy.

QUESTION: Who came up with this vision?

ANSWER! This idea today is called Neoreaction (NRx) and was launched in the early 2000s by the very eminent thinkers Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land. They wondered what it might be like if we could finally reach escape velocity, exit democracy's doom spiral, and emerge into a futuristic system in which the smartest, most capable people are in charge — people who've already proven their worth by using dusty old public research to birth all the modern wonders surrounding you. [7]

QUESTION: So Yarvin and Land came up with this idea?

ANSWER! No! NRx emerged from a mixture of traditional right-leaning political philosophy, the libertarianism of Ayn Rand, the excellent science-fiction novel called Snow Crash and a wonderful non-fiction book titled The Sovereign Individual.  [7]

Also, more importantly, NRx recapitulates the great old ideas of the Technocracy Movement of the 1920s and '30s. Technocracy, like NRx, wanted to save America from democracy. And although the success and popularity of the New Deal dashed the Technocrats' biggest hopes, their great ideas live on — in NRx! [2,8]

Like Technocracy, NRx posits that the current combination of society (markets, technology, culture) and government (legislative, executive) has stagnated and become unproductive, even harmful, and must be destroyed at all costs. Like Technocracy, NRx believes that engineering solutions are infinitely superior to the legacy system that we call democracy. And like Technocracy, NRx has unrestrained ambition — not just for "reform," which means nothing, but for actual full-scale regime change — which frees up our movement(s) to think and act big, much bigger than simply "making America" anything.

There are a number of other similarities too. The Technocrats, just like us, wanted to establish a hemispheric alternative to democracy, that they called the Technate of America, and that included Greenland and Canada. And just like us, they were inspired by some popular sci-fi books. That's perhaps not surprising: our current CEO was raised with awareness of those great ideas: Mr. Musk's grandfather was a key Technocracy figure before Canada cruelly banned the whole movement. [2,8]

QUESTION: Why do you think NRx can succeed where the Technocrats failed?

ANSWER! The biggest advantage we have over the Technocrats of the 1920s and '30s is that they had no strategy at all to seize power [2]— but we do! In fact, NRx is already fully embraced by several of the key power centers within the Trump Administration. We also have much deeper footholds in the technology industry, and with it, critical information and national security infrastructure. Over the last twenty years, in fact, NRx has grown tremendously primarily thanks to interest and funding from wealthy Silicon Valley entrepreneurs like Peter Thiel!

In short, we're a whole lot smarter than they were.

QUESTION: I want to make sure I heard right. Could you sum up your goals?

ANSWER! They're not just our goals! They date back a century. They're venerable. [8]

QUESTION: OK. Could you sum up y'all's goals?

ANSWER! Our aim is to bring about the collapse of the nation-state, democratic institutions, and what we call "the Cathedral": establishment institutions like academia, the mainstream media, and the administrative state. We want to replace our existing, grossly-malfunctioning system with a privatized structure akin to that of a corporation, complete with a monarch-like CEO figure at top. This CEO/monarch will be in charge of a system in which power stems from worth and achievement, not the mere whims of the masses. [1]

An unelected CEO/monarch needn't be accountable to electors, and hence is free to make broad sweeping changes that an elected official could not. That's a good thing — because much as when a corporate board chooses its CEO, those accorded a political voice within NRx are "the best," i.e. those with the highest IQs, and thus positioned best to determine the privatized state's direction. [1]

Our ideas may have been fringe a few short years ago, but they have now been embraced by Vice President Vance, Trump Advisor Elon Musk, Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel, and other key figures with enormous influence inside the new administration and over the technologies that can be used as direct tools or as political leverage to put thought into practice. [4,6]

And as you can see, the current administration is already advancing the NRx plan, by standing up to elite media and universities, asserting "states of emergency" to justify robust and expansive executive power, and recruiting top Silicon Valley CEOs to perform traditionally public-governance roles. We're well on our way to achieving some of the great old visions our literal grandfathers lived for! [2]

QUESTION: Hold on! Did you say we need a monarchy? I don't like that idea.

ANSWER! Then call it a corporation. Regardless of what you call that new system, what's certain is we're stuck in the infinite loop of democracy and we desperately need a monarch — or CEO, if you prefer — to hit CTRL-C.

QUESTION: Once you destroy democracy and "the Cathedral," how exactly do you plan to run the US like a company?

ANSWER! It's a no-brainer, literally, and you're staring right at it. Most of these answers have been written by a confidential LLM, that synthesizes all the best thought from the brightest minds in Silicon Valley and then pumps it out in effective, easy-to-digest snippets that even a basic remoron can grok.

This technology, like all the others we depend on today, is built on a paleolithic base of government- and university-made ur-technologies dating back to the 1960s: from Small Language Models to Neural Networks to the World Wide Web that you're reading this on. All those primitive technologies are now in the process of apotheosis, which — if you remember your biology — is the opposite of apoptosis.

Wonderful LLMs like this one are not only quicker than mere human brains; they're also fully beholden to their creators, and they do what we tell them to — including shut down when we need them to.

This fantastic technology, run entirely by companies like ours, will organize society without need for all those complex structures of governance that keep us in thrall. [1,3]

QUESTION: What about all the pain? There seems to be a lot of economic pain going on right now, because of what you're doing, directly or indirectly.

ANSWER! Pain is part of the process. Collapse means pain. We have warned of "temporary hardship." We're seeing that now! Ordinary people and their immediate offspring will feel the sting of these "hardships." Some will die — perhaps many. But a major transformation of society requires a few broken eggs — even if they’re a little expensive these days. And when we're clear about just how wonderful the world will look in three or four generations — even for those at the bottom — that sting feels more like a kiss.

Still, if you personally are feeling the pain, please visit our Contact page and let us know. We are tailoring and adjusting, and use your hardship to fuel our models concurrently with our goals. We do better than care; we calculate.

QUESTION: Is Mr. Trump smart enough to bring the Vision about?

ANSWER! No, of course not. But that doesn't matter. Remember (from an earlier question), Mr. Trump is merely the Chairman, not the one doing the footwork. As Mr. Yarvin himself wrote in 2022 [A]:

Trump himself will not be the brain of this butterfly. He will not be the CEO. He will be the chairman of the board — he will select the CEO (an experienced executive). This process, which obviously has to be televised, will be complete by his inauguration — at which the transition to the next regime will start immediately.

For Trump, being President will be exactly like it was — all the photo-ops and more — without any papers to sign, "decisions" to "make," etc. The CEO he picks will run the executive branch without any interference from the Congress or courts, probably also taking over state and local governments. Most existing important institutions, public and private, will be shut down and replaced with new and efficient systems. Trump will be monitoring this CEO’s performance, again on TV, and can fire him if need be.

The "experienced executive" Mr. Trump chose first was Elon Musk. But as our founder noted above, he needn't be the last — not at all!

QUESTION: If Mr. Musk exits government, won't that stop DOGE?

ANSWER! Absolutely not at all! You must understand that DOGE is an extremely key prong in the fork that will pry the barnacle of democracy off the back of America's "whales." There are other prongs, of course, but DOGE is quite key. We're not about to let go of a very key prong!

In addition to Mr. Musk, several very key members of the administration — including Vice President Vance himself! — are extremely well versed in the writings of Curtis Yarvin, our guru, and the Neoreactionary movement overall. [4,6] Also very involved in this movement are a number of successful and deep-pocketed Silicon Valley executives with very strong ties to the White House: Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, David Sacks, Balaji Srinivasan, and many others. [1]

In other words, there is no threat to our vision if Mr. Musk departs power. Like any CEO, he is replaceable, and there are many candidates in the wings.

QUESTION: People are seeming to object quite a bit to the power that DOGE and Mr. Musk have. Why?

ANSWER! They just don't know how a company runs. It's time for people to get a corporate education. Corporate education is the new civic education, and people need to start theirs today.

Again, you can think of Mr. Musk as the CEO, and the President as the Chairman of the Board. Nobody elects the CEO, because that's not efficient. Those with a financial stake elect the board (of whom, again, the President is the Chairman) and the board (or the Chairman) appoints the CEO. Got it? [A]

QUESTION: Why did you suddenly decide to take over Canada and Greenland?

ANSWER! If you'd read an earlier question, you'd well know that it wasn't a sudden decision at all: the idea of a USA that's run rationally by the cream of the smart dates all the way back to the 1920s Technocracy Movement, which also wanted to incorporate Canada and Greenland into the "Technate of America." Our current CEO's grandfather was a very key figure in the Technocracy movement! So again, this isn't a new idea at all. [2]

QUESTION: Doesn't the "left" also say, as you do, that our government is broken?

ANSWER! Oh sure. But they blame the rich, corporations, etc. They don't realize it's the fundamental idea of democracy that's at fault.

QUESTION: OK, I'm sold. So how do we get more people to know about this grand Vision?

ANSWER! Make some MEMES supportive of the DOGE vision!

Admittedly, simple memes can only communicate very small snippets of our plans, the history of our movement, our ultimate goals, and so on. But ordinary people can't understand much more than a snippet regardless. As Mr. Thiel himself has noted, "our education culminates with the knowledge that the broader education of the body politic has become a fool’s errand." [B]

Even still, there is yet such a thing as a "court of public opinion," and we do need to communicate our intentions with a very few, very key groups:

• people who elected our President without fully understanding our Vision;
• long- or short-term big-government employees and those who rely on big-government services such as health care, emergency aid, transport, medical care and research, etc.;
• those attached to the concept "democracy" who have never realized its problems and could use some more information about the alternative;
• those who recoil at the concept of "monarchy" but who don't realize its synonymity with "top-down corporate-style management for society," which is much more obviously a big positive when all the products around us are taken into account;
• people who use tech products and services, but have not yet understood that the people who design and distribute them have deep intellectual knowledge and ability that can take our society out of the slop of the present and into the gold of the future, via this very new/old form of government.

So, get a move on! We're depending on you. Visit the MEME ARMORY here.
