Democracy is a terrible idea, illustrated.

[Obscurity]

Ok but what you’re talking about is the exception.

The Romanovs ruled Russia for 400 years, the Soviet Union barely lasted 80.

So in fact in most cases Monarchy provides long term stability and it’s failures are usually external and they are rare.

Democracies are usually short term and fail. We now have a near equally divided United States where both sides don’t recognize the other as legitimate. If we had an absolute monarchy and speaking against the institution of the monarchy itself was illegal then we’d have like 70% or 80% of people supporting the government and it would be stable.

We literally fought a devestating war to end monarchist control of our country. Kings are not appointed through any god. The reason they controlled Russia for 400 years is simply because of authoritarianism, and the people had had enough.

We know now how reproduction works. There is no mobility in blood. It's a discarded idea because it is inhumane drivel. So is theocracy.

Once you prove your god exists and has domain over all the others, we can have a valid conversation on that topic. But without proof it's just superstitious nonsense.

I provided you numerous examples of the democrats using corruption to invalidate voter passed referendums

Please. I can provide you multiple instances of Republicans refusing the will of voters across a plurality of states and youd blame democrats.

Bad analogy, but let's go with it. Do you prefer a Socialist Authoritarian government or a Fascist one?

He prefers a theocratic monarchy entrenched in catholic magisterial and religious law.

Monarchy is a discarded trash idea. You should take note. None of us want your garbage ideology to be in control.

Unless it's me in power of course. Everyone gets free mints and a bag of office supplies!

You're a totalitarian, you want a strong man to overrule the will of the people, so if that's really what you think is happening, you should be a Democrat right?

Something tells me if it were an atheist liberal socialist as dictator you'd suddenly be against the idea.

 

[What if...?]

The most glaring of the numerous problems with your little rant, of course, is that most “noblemen” and kings don’t have any clue how to run a state, and there’s no real way to hold them accountable when they run into the ground short of launching a revolt.

Oh, and the captain is not an absolute dictator. He can’t just decide “you know, I think we’ll fly to Boston instead of Miami today”. He has to maintain strict guidelines and regulations and if he doesn’t—other than risking the lives of everyone on board—he gets his ass fired and once it gets out isn’t going to get a job flying a commercial airliner anywhere.

The OP is one of those people who embrace the sophistry that any man who obtains power did so because god wanted him to. And therefore whatever that person does is the will of god.

And that's some dangerous stupid.

Ahh, thanks. Won't happen. We tossed them out of the US at the end of the 18th Century and won't be inviting them back.

Well the difference is, I don’t even pretend. The democrats use democracy as a stalking horse for socialism.

I just say outright I’m a Monarchist.

If there’s a political movement in France to restore the bourbons and the Catholic Church could you please send that to me? I wish to support them.

I would actually love for there to be one, just one country that’s a Catholic Theocracy ruled by a King. I would totally move there like yesterday.

The liberals seem to have no problem with muslims having their own theocratic countries, why can’t I have one to live in?

You could move to vatican city.

 

[What if...?]

Gee, and why was that again? Hmmm.....because a gang of psychotic thugs decided that they would be better off running the show and helping their pal Adolf out.

Meanwhile the reason why the Spanish military was so eager to intervene was the numerous humiliations the Spanish monarchy had suffered before it had fallen and the effective dismantlement of its colonial empire in the series of defeats at the hands of everyone from the United States to local rebels.

The Romanovs, again, fell because they ran the country into the ground, and wound up losing Russia huge amounts of its most valuable territories in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

Saying that the Romanovs “knew how the run the country” is a joke. Had they moderated even a little bit, it’s likely the Russian Revolution could have been avoided, but instead they doubled down on autocracy and sheer stupidity—for example, allowing Rasputin to hang around—and wound up in front of a firing squad because of it.

Historically, communism only sounds like a good idea when whatever you currently have only works for the minority at the top.

Of course from everything I've seen the soviet was just the greatest con ever pulled. I babe never seen any evidence that they were honestly working towards a Worker's Paradise nor ever dissolve the Vanguard. They just leveraged the science of propaganda. So well the both hitler and Goebbels are on record stating the Reich could never have been without what they learned from the soviet on propaganda.

And if that monarch was an atheist liberal socialist that wanted to send Christians like you to concentration camps you'd still be a fan of a monarchy? You only want YOUR ideology as a monarchy, not one in general.

The second that monarch did something you don't like you'd be screaming for American liberty. The problem is you're deeply unhappy with your own life and try to get satisfaction by attempting to control others. Living your own life just isn't enough.
