# Charles Haywood American businessman turned far-right blogger and organizer. He founded **Mansfield-King**, an Indianapolis haircare manufacturer, and **sold it in 2020**; the proceeds are the funding base for everything that followed. Since the sale he has worked full-time as a writer and as the organizer of the **[[Society for American Civic Renewal]]**, which he founded in **Carmel, Indiana** the same year. ## The Worthy House and "Foundationalism" Haywood writes at **The Worthy House**, a book-review site that became the vehicle for a political program he calls **Foundationalism**. Its premise is that the American constitutional order is not reformable and that the useful question is what replaces it. He has predicted the collapse of the United States and described wanting to become a **"warlord"** of an **"armed patronage network"** in the aftermath — his own published formulation, not a characterization by critics. That combination — a private fortune, an explicitly post-constitutional political theory, and an organizational vehicle for placing aligned men into institutional positions — is what distinguishes him from the broader postliberal commentariat. ## Society for American Civic Renewal Haywood founded **[[Society for American Civic Renewal]]** (SACR) on **July 22, 2020**, a men-only, Christian-only fraternal order incorporated under **501(c)(10)**. He remained largely unknown until **2023**, when *The Guardian* identified him as the group's principal officer; in **early 2024** *[[Talking Points Memo]]* obtained internal SACR correspondence including membership criteria and the group's internal and external mission statements. See the organization page for the network map. ## Named by Erick Erickson, September 2026 On **September 16, 2026**, conservative broadcaster **[[Erick Erickson]]** published "The Midwestern Führerbunker Driving the Right Off the Cliff," naming Haywood as a man whose fortune has let him **shape boards and institutions** across the right, alongside [[Nick Fuentes]] and [[Bo French]]. The essay's title borrows a phrase from **[[Rod Dreher]]**, who described Haywood as writing from "deep in his Midwestern Führerbunker" — notable in that Dreher is himself a postliberal Christian conservative, not an outside critic. > [!info] Why this is a vault entry and not a profile > Haywood holds no office, runs no campaign and has no public constituency. He matters here as **infrastructure**: the funder and organizer of the personnel pipeline described on [[Society for American Civic Renewal]] and [[Christian Network State]]. Claims on this page are drawn from his own published writing, from primary SACR documents obtained by *TPM*, and from named on-the-record critics on the right. ## See Also - [[Society for American Civic Renewal]] · [[Nate Fischer]] · [[New Founding]] - [[Christian Network State]] · [[Christian Nationalism]] - [[Erick Erickson]] · [[Rod Dreher]] · [[Claremont Institute]]
