Dark Enlightenment

The Dark Enlightenment is a socio-political movement that criticizes modern democratic and egalitarian ideas. It advocates for a return to traditional hierarchical structures, emphasizing authority, order, and social stability. Its proponents often oppose progressive values like equality and universal suffrage, instead favoring aristocratic or elitist governance. The movement draws on ideas from certain conservative or reactionary philosophies, arguing that some hierarchical inequalities are natural and beneficial. Overall, it seeks to challenge contemporary democratic norms in favor of a more structured, less egalitarian social order.
