Curtis Yavin, a tech-right-wing thinker, appeared on the BS-TBS news program “報道1930” on June 18, 2026 [2], to promote a “CEO-type monarchy.”
This appearance highlights a growing movement among certain U.S. right-wing intellectuals to fundamentally reshape American governance by replacing democratic structures with corporate-style authoritarianism. The discussion reflects a broader intellectual conflict regarding the future of the U.S. political system.
Yavin is described as a guru of the new-monarchism movement [1]. During the broadcast, he said his vision is a government modeled after a corporation, where a single leader manages the state with the efficiency of a chief executive officer [2]. This model is positioned as a solution to the perceived failures of current political systems.
The interview occurred shortly after the Japanese release of Yavin's book, “Neo-Monarchism,” which debuted on June 9, 2026 [1]. The program framed the conversation as part of a “worldview battle” taking place among U.S. right-wing thinkers [2]. These thinkers seek to challenge established norms of governance, and implement a new monarchic model to achieve their political goals.
By appearing on a Japanese news platform, Yavin is extending the reach of these ideas beyond the U.S. border. The broadcast focused on how these theories of power and control are being debated within the tech-right community, which often merges Silicon Valley sensibilities with traditionalist or authoritarian political goals [1, 2].
“Yavin promotes a “CEO-type monarchy” as a replacement for democratic structures.”
The promotion of 'Neo-Monarchism' in Japan indicates that the intellectual framework of the U.S. tech-right is seeking international audiences. By framing government as a corporate entity, Yavin attempts to legitimize authoritarianism through the lens of business efficiency, signaling a shift in how some right-wing theorists approach the dismantling of democratic institutions.
