And we would be dominated by smart, competent leaders.
Monarchies are just a no go for me anymore
I used to be a monarchist
Owned /mg/ Monarchist General
But the idea behind them, that nations are private property for an single individual, is much better than democracies.
Dictatorship is superior
Dictators are not concerned about the nation after they die like hereditary monarchs are.
Most are
They want the next dictator to keep the nation alive
Is there a solid incentive like hereditary monarchies?
Look at N.Korea
North Korea is a de facto hereditary monarchy.
It's technically elected
The only reason it is weak is because of communist, rather than capitalist economic policies.
Historically, Monarchies have focused on foreign affairs over domestic affairs
This is fact
Is focusing on foreign affairs intrinsic to monarchy, or is that just a trend?
I'm confused.
It's tied to Monarchies
Historically
Because for a monarchy to expand it's power, which is always, and I mean *always* it's primary goal, it needs to meddle in foreign affairs, be it by invasion or marrying they next royals daughter.
Look at the Habsburgs
The only way to stop a monarchy from doing this
Why can't they expand their powers like, say, the Finnish or Danish did, through industrialization and modernization?
Would be a consititunal monarchy
Also, why is this intrinsic to monarchies and not dictatorships?
Monarchies have in effect more power than dictatorshipsx at least mentally
Over the people
Why do monarchies have more power? It seems to me the only difference is the hereditary aspect of monarchy.
Right to rule
Divine right
Anyways I need to head to church for Thanksgiving, nice chat tho
So if the legitimacy of monarchy was divine rule, wouldn't that be a spiritual, rather than a political question of whether monarchies are the best system.
Bye
Have fun at church!
you expected me to debate on a subject I know jack shit about
yeah ok bud
hahahahahah
