/monarchy/
Welcome to /monarchy/, under new management edition.
rules and guidelines:
1. This board is for the discussion of monarchies of the past, present, and future and serves as a discussion board for any interested person regardless of political leaning. Please keep the board's purpose in mind before you post content which might be better on /pol/ or /christian/.
2. This is a safe for work board. NSFW content is heavily discouraged in all cases, and should be spoilered and marked accordingly or else I'll delete it.
3. Bully responsibly.
4. Shitposting is permitted only when it's funny.
*
I've claimed the board and with any luck we can revive it. There's a lot to discuss and the subject matter has potential.
Let me know in this thread if you're interested in volunteering. I don't have an email set up, but when I feel like I need volunteers, I'll open up the applications. Contributing good discussion to the board and being a supporter of monarchy are really the only two criteria I'm looking for.
here's a list of changes I'm making to the board after taking over from the last guy:
1. New sticky, modified rules
2. Board is now SFW.
3. New wave of cross-board advertising.
Not much for me to do until we have some activity here. Start name-dropping /monarchy/ in /pol/ or /christian/ threads to get us some exposure. Discuss Monarchy, make OC, debate.
I'm putting advertisement threads in /pol/ and /christian/, let's see if that nets us some new users.
Can We Revive /monarchy/?
I want to help revive this board, and I will come and try to post on the board as much as I can. Looking for active users here and all, so please post. We'll need to work together to wrap this place up.
Who has ideas for a board revival?
I know just the people who can commit to this board, so I'll ask them.

Is it Possible to Limit the Number of Bad Kings in a Hereditary Monarchy?
Hello /monarchy/, nationalist without a specific ideal government here. Personally, I am not a hereditary monarchist, however I realize that saying "hereditary monarchy is bad, don't do it" just makes me sound like a shill. So I'd like to discuss with the hereditary monarchists here about what you would do, or how would you set up a hereditary monarchy as such to try and make sure you ended up with the best ruler the system could provide.
When it comes to what makes a bad monarch, one aspect I suggest you look into is high functioning sociopaths. Many modern politicians and CEOs are suspected of being sociopaths, as sociopathy aids in the process of scrambling to the top of the success ladder while having no regard for the people they step on to get to the top. I personally suspect this is the cause for much of the selfish and outright abusive behavior that nobles and aristocrats subjected to their people, as well as the willingness to borrow money from Jews to advance their interests.
pic is related, it's the Voight-Kampff test from Blade Runner, a tool used to differentiate between synthetic humans (who lacked the genuine capacity for empathy) versus real humans.
How would you separate the good eggs from the bad ones?
Monarchist Apologetics
I only recently discovered that there are still serious monarchists today, and I'm still learning about the arguments. In your own words, why are you a monarchist? I want to know why you think monarchism is better than other political systems.
Legion of the Archangel Michael
Iron Guard general. They were good monarchist folk.
Made a monarchy thread on /leftypol/, it was golden
Which Kind of Monarchy?
Which of the following do you mean when you say monarchy?
>Absolute goddam monarchy, "L'etat, c'est moi." This doesn't have to be hard you faggot OP.
>Constitutional monarchy. Queen Victoria style. Got to have some checks and balances somewhere.
>Elective monarchy. Poland should have had a fair chance to try out their system more fully. Got to make sure some inbred Philip V doesn't get in.
>Really something more of an aristocracy. Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn is on to something.
>Figurehead monarchy. God Bless Felipe VI. It provided a damn fine backup for Spain and Belgium.
Mercantilism
What does /monarchy/ think of mercantilism as an economic policy?
USA
What is your honest opinion on America and it's revolution?
Ask a monarchist.
why the fuck would you be a monarchist?
This board
Reading this reminded me of this board and /pol/ so much. Is this really how we're viewed by normos and democucks?
I wanted to share something of great significance to myself and my country with /monarchy/
This is the charter of Ban Kulin, written on the 29th of August 1189. It was was a trade agreement between the Banate of Bosnia and the Republic of Ragusa that effectively regulated Ragusan trade rights in medieval Bosnia. It is the oldest written record proving the existence of our nationality and rule in our country.
Here's a short tale of my country's origin. It was originally a refuge in the ice age for many tribes that later on formed various cultures in the Balkans. My people have the same genes as the Proto-Europeans making them one of the oldest peoples in Europe. We have had many cultural changes, from the invasion of the Indo-Aryan peoples, the Illyrian culture making its way down to the Balkans and assimilating many tribes into some form of a pseudo-Hellenic or Hellenistic culture. An interesting detail about this time is the fact that the Illyrians have served as infantry in Alexanders campaigns. Later on the population was conquered by Rome, and with it it was romanized. We have served in many wars as legionaries , most famously in the Marcomannic wars.
After the fall of Rome the land belonged to the Ostrogoths, and then later on it belonged to the Slavs, who were first recorded to be here during the reign of Attila the Hun.The post Roman recorded history is very hard to find or non-existent but it was said by numerous sources that many Roman cities were sacked or razed in that period. During that time the slavs completed the cultural assimilation of the population and maintained rule shaky rule with the land being conquered by various Slavic rulers, and the ERE.
Bosnia as a region was first recorded by ERE historians as a vassal for the Hungarian kingdom. We broke free from Hungarian rule with a successful revolt in where we gained numerous cities and castles. We have time after time stopped Hungarian crusading armies and gained more and more land until we have risen to vast size in a short amount of time. To demonize the Bosnian kingdom, many of the scribes and historians, mostly Serb, have written that we were a barbaric pagan horde sacking cities and killing nobles wherever we could find them. Our kings and lords have proven their virtue and honor in many ways. Most Croatian lord and cities gladly joined the Bosnian crown because they knew they would get treated fairly and with respect. The country's economy, population and army grew constantly. Our Ban Kulin, to avoid a bloodbath from both sides said to the Byzantine commander that he can send his best champion to battle him, and whoever survives, wins the battle. The both side agreed, and Ban Kulin met the Byzantine champion in the middle of the field. The battle soon ended because Kulin hit the champion so hard with the mace that his skull cracked and his helmet merged with his face.
We have as well waged war with the Ottomans, most famously in the battle of Kosovo polje and in the battle of Bileca, we have had some major victories and good skirmishes but the Ottoman army with over 150 000 troops proved to great for us and it slowly conquered our kingdom one city at a time. The story of our kingdom ended when our last king surrendered with the promise of a safe route out of the Ottoman empire but when he got out of his castle the Ottomans broke their promise and slayed him along with his men.
Cross board advertising
Good day /monarchy/
>>>/christ/ here.
We at /christ/ thought that we can promote each others board and put up a link there to increase our traffic/Userbase.
I'm sure that many monarchists are devout Christians too after all.
Even if you are not interested in this you are welcome to post or make a thread on /christ/, regardless of your religious beliefs.
Have a nice day!
How to start a monarchist movement, or a reactionary movement in general?
In modern times it's most popular to be a member of the new right but are there people in Europe willing to install a reactionary government?
Monarchy in popular media
What are some popular media (anime, movies, vidya) portraying monarchic systems in a positive or nuanced light?
Pic related, probably the best example.
Robespierre
Can you find a single thing this man did wrong?
Monarchism is retarded
>you would never be a monarch because of your bloodline
>your ruler would be anyone who was lucky enough to be born into the monarchy, regardless of how fit they are to rule
How does this make you feel, /monarchy/?
picking the monarch
The most important part of a monarchy is finding the right person to be the monarch, how would one go about this?
Secular Monarchy
What do you think of enlightened absolutism?
Jacobite General
Anyone else here a Jacobite?
Parliament isn't King, and nor should it appoint one. Long Live Bonnie Prince Charlie!
An idea
In order to revive this board, should we sort of exand and comment on news and stuff, kind of like /pol/? The difference, of course, would be that the quality of discussion will certainly be higher. I think many monarchists have read a lot and can offer quality input on various things.
I mean, we can focus on readings and theory and stuff, but that's not enough to keep the board buzzing, I think.
Does a King protect the Weak?
We were all so small once.
Too many young women are pressured into abortion.
A traumatizing experience that causes great pain.
Hormone imbalances result from this corrupting practice.
If we can choose which innocent life dies and which lives.
Are we still listening to our hearts?
A true king protects his people.
No matter how little they are.
They shall know no fear in a true monarchy. A monarchy the respects the people it guides.
Monarchy Restoration
What countries do you guys think will restore their monarchies next? I think Serbia or Georgia

GLORIOUS AND BRITISH
OUTTA THE WAY CUNTSGREATEST AND MOST POWERFUL MONARCHY COMING THROUGH
Fuck Yeah, Monarchy!
I'm an absolute monarchist who wants a divine illuminated king to rule his nation and keep it white and right.
I like that video John Alan Martinson did about monarchy. It was like over an hour long but gave the perfect case for why we should have monarchy in great detail and was worth listening through the whole thing.
Unfortunately the channel that hosted it, HumansOpposingJewz, has been wiped out from youtube completely without a trace of it having ever even existed before (not "channel was shutdown for violating rules blah blah") and pretty much every single video by John Alan Martinson that was up on youtube has been purged.
Anyone have that vid?
Essential viewing
Lecture on De Maistre for those interested
Do any of you know latin?
Because I'm trying to make an organisation in my country and it would be nice to have a latin name for it.
All hail the king!
Hello, /monarchy/. I just wanted to let you know that I'm the new board owner of >>>/kind/, and I'd appreciate it if you'd take the time to drop in and say hello. It's not really devoted to the discussion of topics pertaining to politics, but I think kindness is or should be a virtue valued by all, irrespective of political affiliation!
Check out our politics thread: >>>/kind/221
Roman von Ungern-Sternberg
any good books or articles on the mad baron?
Bush vs. Clinton
Is the US about to become a hereditary monarchy?
nRX
Are you guys neoreactionaries or some shit?
Imperial Germany
So when can we expect this guy to be crowned?
Social-monarchy
Social-monarchy, is this idea even compatible?Feudalism is no more, but why must you succumb to capitalism? I find socialism to be a better successor.
Historical examples:
Chinese Empire under Wu Zetian
Incan Empire
In Mesopotamia the Semitic monarchies - Assyria and Babylonia. You may see the uncanny resemblance of Lenin's Mausoleum to Ziggurats.
Persian Empire under Mazdakism
Or more modern:
Napoelonic Empire, perhaps best example of it. Modern day Bonapartists are just national-social-democrats, but historically it was inherently a social-monarchic movement.
Fascist Italy, worked like diarchy. At the end King overthrown Mussolini
Japanese Empire
Argurably socialist-leading, both countries were also realising monarchist priciples. Japan could create countries like Manchukuo with Qing Emperor as head of state, or Mengukuo, Italy would give Emmanuel titles like Emperor of Ethiopia, or send Prince Tomislav II to Croatia.
Argurably
Libyan Jamahiriya - Gaddafi titled himself "King of Kings" when speaking to Saudi King.
It was a weird state. Literal democracy like Switzerland with titular head of state.
Juche (or Cuba) - hereditary rule. At least for sure in case to North Korea.
North Korea uses name Choson, linking itself to ancient Empires of Korea
Additionally Suharto was offered crown of Indonesia (he co-operated with Japanese Empire) and Pilsudski of Poland, both socialist-leading, but they refused.
Rediscovering tradition
Sure smells like NRx in here.Any "neo" traditionalists who first considered monarchy a viable choice in last two years here?
GLORIA LUX BRITANNIA
For the union of the UK, Ireland, Canada, US, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan.For the subjugation of moneyed interests in our Empire to the new social democratic nobility.
For the salvation of civilization.
For the pursuit of beauty.
For the United Empire!
ALL HAIL >>>/britannia/ !!!
Modern Monarchy
I would like to start a thread about how monarchy would work in a modern age. For instance how would this shift take place? Where would it take place?What if there was a rich motherfucker who bought a lot of land (A good size maybe two or three towns)and built shops and homes and contracted people to fill them and work under his command?
