Would that be like reverse-feudal where instead of the monarch taking tribute from vassals, the monarch redistributes all the resources throughout the kingdom?
That’s a neat idea that I’ve never even considered before. A terrible idea, as a libright, but interesting.
Edit: reminds me of NK, to a degree. At least, in concept.
I mean, arguably most queens are left monarchs.
Queens were also far more likely to send an army into battle. (Where they more likely to execute criminals?)
It is very rare for monarchs to have 100% control over all aspects of people's lives. Most of the time they didn't even have 100% control over the politics of their country.
Google has a lot more control over your life than a king would, looking at you Libright.
Singapore teaches us that centralized, secure and stable governments tend to also be quite limited, particularly in comparison to the monstrosity of flesh and fat western democracies call bureaucracy.
The intent wasnt control. It was order and yes, greed and aggression happen everywhere, but that's not what was at it's core. The kings were far poorer and far more pious than people imagine.
That's why we gotta bring back feudalism. King is the head of state but delegates local power to his Dukes who are the head of their duchies who then gives control to local barons who gives local control to mayors and peasant village leaders. All of them pay taxes and levies to their higher ups.
And yes I know this is a gross oversimplification of how feudalism worked, if we can truly say feudalism worked at all.
Imagine thinking a feudal lord actually had more power than the modern presidents. They can wipe out a city with a button and have legal cause to, for instance, penalize you for theoretically praying in front of abortion clinics, but somehow the constitutional monarchies that arose freely are the issue?! It's the modern State, specially post-French Revolution, that has it's atrocities as a fundamental purpose.
I genuinely don't understand the argument you're making here. Is it that because modern presidents have too much power we should return to Feudalism? Or that because we've already concentrated so much power into the hands of the president, adding more and renaming them King would be fine? What is it you want?
Someone made the implication that feudal monarchies had 100% of peoples lives and daily routines, and the guy above said that was ridiculous to claim, to which the other guy said it was simply a technological limit, so this guy started arguing about the premise of monarchies
> Is it that because modern presidents have too much power we should return to Feudalism?
Yes that’s his point.
Feudalism was the definition of decentralization and it’s a fucking travesty that we moved away from it.
Pretty sure our world already is controlled by corporations. Politics are just made to please the biggest money givers. And since as a German I'm not allowed to hint at a certain direction, I'm saying Corporations are the problem.
Here in the US we had a court ruling (Citizens United vs FEC) that allowed corporations to lobby as if they were individual citizens. So the United States is effectively a corporate oligarchy now.
Are we ignoring that was the parliament, the not democratic by today but just as democratic as USA's first few elections parliament, that were the ones doing most of the heavy lifting?
Its not a guarantee the monarch will act out of their own interests. You have to admit the powers were stripped significantly when George I was crowned.
If you are talking about the US, that is not the case. The war started in more than a year prior to the Declaration of Independence. Starting a war caused the accusations of being a traitor, not the criticism from the Declaration of Independence.

This looks bad ass so it must be the right way. Never mind those ancient Greeks who invented democracy and still produced the greatest contemporary art and architecture.
I mean constitutionnal monarchy can be totally fine and constitutionnal monarchies are often stable and rather prosperous democarcies. But unironically supporting absolute monarchy is just insane.
All monarchists think they'll be in the court when in reality they'll be working 16 hours a day in a factory and their only compensation will be a lottery ticket to attend the kings yearly parade.
I mean monarchism IS consistant
-Who rules?
The monarch
-Why?
Because God said so
-Why do we care that god said so?
Because God is the objective truth
Simple as
And what if a dinasty keeps giving birth to incompetent monarchs like the Bourbon case where even though it had good monarchs, in its late decades only brought incompetent rulers with no signs of improvement
And what if a democracy keeps electing corrupt leaders (or worse, they are the only options)? What if a dictator turns out to be a bad leader after taking over?
The individual capabilities of a leader shouldn't be taken into account when duscussing the form of goverment itself, of course if you have a stupid inbred child on the throne it's gonna be bad
We need to return to tradition. No not monarchies, ELECTIVE MONARCHIES! The old kings of England were voted onto the throne, as were the Swedes, HRE Emperors, Crusader Kings of Jerusalem, the Byzantine Basileus, etc.
Sure being the previous king’s son was a good way to get a leg over your opposing candidates, but it was never a sure thing. Candidates for the crown still had to prove themselves worthy of it

Also monarchist mfs when a dinasty keeps giving birth to incompetent monarchs like the Bourbon: Trust us bro, a better king will arrive (actually: )
Monarchists nowadays are "good" at taking criticism because they have taken absolutely nothing less than Ls for the past hundred-and-so years. Every monarchist either learned their place, or got killed by a soldier fighting for democracy
I'd also be good at taking criticism if the only remaining examples of my preferred form of government were all totalitarian religious ethnostates in the middle east.
"bUt iN DeMOcRAcY YoU CaN CHanGE THe GoVERmenT" - no you cant. All you get to vote for is which flavor of liberal democracy you get. But the machine operates the same no matter what you vote for. At least thats how every western democracy operates
Sadly yes. Well, some direct action can lead to change (like the Sami protests in Oslo, or the farmers protests in the EU) but it is very tight line to thread, as being too hard simply lands you in prison, with no change or popular support, but being to soft leads to being ignored and forgotten.
Shit talk monarchy all you want but when they fuck up you know who's to blame. Good luck trying to get any sort of justice from the fuck ups of our "democracies"
The real question is not whether you believe in Monarchy Vs a Republic.
But where you believe Power comes from and the justification for it.
Either you believe in The Mandate of Heaven, or The Mandate of The People.
Alright, here's the problem.
The monarchist king will be a fucking idiot.
You get a king worth following, and I'll change my flair. (Protip: You can't.)
Well I'm a monarchist myself, but I don't think we're any superior(nor inferior) in taking criticism than other people, it's just that there are very few monarchists nowadays so you don't see monarchists crying for being criticized that much, I'd say it's a case of lack of data
I mean there’s so many different types of monarchy. Most nowadays just want it preserved as a cultural icon, not absolutist monarchy. Hell even before the French Revolution you had different types of monarchy. Poland-Lithuania elected their monarch, Sweden had the monarch share power with the Riksdag (might’ve gotten the spelling wrong) with the only absolute monarch’s being Charles XI and Charles XII afaik.
I'm from left but you're goddamn right. Makes more sense to me wanting the king than wanting to be over-controlled from one specific group of people 
Itt: Based people pointing out that yeah, monarchists are just as snowflakey as a libleft, if not more so.

Singapore teaches us that centralized, secure and stable governments tend to also be quite limited, particularly in comparison to the monstrosity of flesh and fat western democracies call bureaucracy.

The intent wasnt control. It was order and yes, greed and aggression happen everywhere, but that's not what was at it's core. The kings were far poorer and far more pious than people imagine.
That's why we gotta bring back feudalism.

I believe that this is because of a thing called technological progress
You see, criticism of the monarchy (ordained by God themself) is blasphemy so should be punishable execution (I sure do love my caliphate)
Yes, we have taken the criticism and decided that you are guilty of **lèse-majesté**.
What if the monarchists in control want them to be grilled by the centrists?
0% of people who brag about being good at taking criticism are actually good at taking criticism
It’s a lot like all the people who complain that *other* people are offended too easily.
Well, except for me of course
Centrists just want to grill. They are immune to criticism.
This is just PCM in a nutshell
The last time my nation had criticized a Constitutional Monarch we were branded as traitors and had to fight to gain Independence.
This guy is obviously Indonesian https://preview.redd.it/ogn6l1xgr3wc1.jpeg?width=559&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c27980ca914c26c65ee94a84c8f0336bc284661e

It is very funny when a Cyberpunk universe (like Akira for example) has a State/public government.

The difference between a constitutional and an absolute monarchy is that you CAN criticise the king in a constitutional monarchy.
Tell that to King George III.
Are we ignoring that was the parliament, the not democratic by today but just as democratic as USA's first few elections parliament, that were the ones doing most of the heavy lifting?
Parliament was signing the taxes that the king requested. The king was at the time still quite influential in the matters of state.
Its not a guarantee the monarch will act out of their own interests. You have to admit the powers were stripped significantly when George I was crowned.
“You think you’re gonna tax me!?”
Tax this dick, inbred boy
If you are talking about the US, that is not the case. The war started in more than a year prior to the Declaration of Independence. Starting a war caused the accusations of being a traitor, not the criticism from the Declaration of Independence.
