To Yarvin, incremental reforms and half-measures are necessarily doomed. The only way to achieve what he wants is to assume "absolute power" and the game is about getting to a place where you can pull that off. Critics have called his ideas "fascist" - a term he disputes, arguing that centralizing power under one ruler long predates fascism and that his ideal monarch should rule for all rather than fomenting a class war as fascists do. "Autocratic" fits as a descriptor, though his preferred term is "monarchist." You won't find many on the right saying they wholly support Yarvin's program - especially the "monarchy" thing - but his critique of the status quo and some of his ideas for changing it have influenced several increasingly prominent figures.
