Wait aristocracies aren’t genetic? Is chairman Xi considered a monarch?

CongoJack posted:

They are, but like 10,000 aristocratic families will keep the status quo as best they can. King Doofus the XII might do something interesting

6. Who would be King and what would that process look like?

Answer: That has not yet been decided for a few reasons. One, we are not at a place where we have enough political momentum for such a decision to be timely. Two, such a choice will be decided by what’s called an interregnum council which would be provided with all the resources necessary to properly deliberate on such a choice. And lastly, choosing now would be irresponsible because the candidate will automatically become the “face” of the movement and as such exposed to unnecessary and unwarranted attention. Anyone opposed to us would do anything in their power to find gossip or dirt about that individual, or their family if they are desperate, and attacks on them would be tantamount to attacking the movement and would invariably be used to discredit the movement and its principles.

There are two main criteria for who it can or would be: that they be a US citizen or have birthright citizenship, and that they be identifiably different from the masses. Why? One, Citizenship would provide them constitutional legitimacy and so would most likely be needed in the future. Two, as of the 2020 census there are over 331 million people in the USA so going through a list of that many people would be impractical, and what claim to a future monarchy could one average citizen possibly have over any other? Thus, they need to be “identifiably different” from everyone else and that also helps to cut down the list of possible claimants.

9. Bourbon or Bonaparte?

Answer: I don’t really concern myself with the claimants to the French Throne. I do admire both Louis XIV and Napoleon Bonaparte; I suppose it is up to the French whether they want an Empire or a Kingdom to see which of the Three claims they want to have as sovereign of France.

What is a Monarchy?

A monarchy is a government that has fallen out of favor in recent history. Recent history has proven to suck major rear end. I don't think this is a coincidence! A monarchy itself is a government based around one dude or gal who runs the whole drat country with absolute power. What they say goes. This thread does not recognize the abhorrent affront to the Lord God that is constitutional monarchies. In an absolute government, since there's only one person who gets all the power - what they want and what the country wants is one and the same! Tired of not getting your way in a dumb democracy? Then just surrender your will to the monarch! So much more of life's frustrations become the guy in charges problem and your life gets to be about what you want to do _{(so long as you don't happen to go into the royal hunting grounds)}!

But wait, how does one become the monarch?

That's the beautiful part - you are ordained by God, Allah, the spirits, or whatever deity you happen to worship! Your deity has chosen a family to rule over the land and have blessed them with the ability and power to do so! Tired of election fraud? Unhappy about losing elections to establishment toadies who only care about enriching themselves? Elections go against the will of the divine! As the divine has seen fit to bless our monarch with all the power! There will be no more need for elections thanks to our wonderful monarchs!



If only one family and person has power, then wouldn't that mean that the entirety of society is at the whims of someone who may not even be cut out for power?

Nonsense! The royal family is not only ordained by the divine, but are raised from birth with the understanding that they will one day rule the land! Allowing them to be given the best education and understanding needed to rule over their people justly! Compare this to your democracies where you routinely choose between the lesser of two evils and determining who will hurt you the least. In a monarchy, there are no choices! Because you already have the best choice possible!

Don't monarchies intermarry a lot and cause their children to become incredibly inbred and stupid?



I don't understand the question.

Wouldn't a government that is made of the people controlling the means of their production, better serve the interests of the people th-

Wow! That sounds like communism! An ideology so terrible it actually destroyed the last great monarchy in the western world! Prior to the advent of your so called liberal democracies, peasants were given up to half the year off as well as free medical care! Why would such an evil ideology do such a thing? Because a monarch cannot rule an unhappy peasantry! And the wise monarchs of the world knew that a happy peasantry is a productive peasantry that didn't try to rise up and foolish institute some kind of democracy! The Kings and Queens of olden days clearly knew the untold troubles we are now experiencing without their wise guidance!



Why would I want to be a monarchist and support never having power?

You already don't have power! And you likely never will! May as well make sure the liberals get what's coming to them!

Please post ITT in favor of monarchism and let others know which monarchs are your favorite! There's not too many these days, but thats no reason to dream about the good old days where monarchs ruled nearly every nation on earth!

I mean whats the difference between today's billionaires and yesterday's monarchs? There is like slight differences in the pomp and circumstance but they're identical in execution. Trump is a landed gentry with unearned generational wealth and completely deranged absolute authority wielding maniac. He even has golden loving toilets, that being said the ruling class in the past at least had some loving taste.

On 1 June 2001, Crown Prince Dipendra opened fire at a house on the grounds of the Narayanhity Palace, the residence of the Nepalese monarchy, where a party was being held. He shot and killed his father, King Birendra, his mother, Queen Aishwarya, and seven other members of the royal family including his younger brother and sister before shooting himself in the head. Due to his wiping out of most of the line of succession, Dipendra became king while in a comatose state from the head wound.

Noblesse oblige and patronage of the arts was pretty cool, if you were lucky enough to enjoy it rather than die in a famine or some foreign adventure.

I think in a traditional elective monarchy, you elect the monarch for life. Also the president doesn't have that much of an ability to really change the direction of the American state, as can be seen for instance in Trump attempting to leave Afghanistan.
