the monarchy [Theme]

The wearer of the crown must bear its weight.

The monarchy is not a palace or a throne, but people's ideas about how the Power should be arranged.

Nicholas had many positive qualities as a person, memoirists note his delicacy, his nobility, softness, he was a pleasant interlocutor, very polite, courteous. But all this, unfortunately, has nothing to do with the management of the state. And in the future, this complete misunderstanding of what his actions look like led to fatal consequences. Nicholas didn't have his own media. There were monarchical newspapers, but Nicholas himself and his inner circle did not control any state apparatus. There were monarchical and liberal newspapers, socialist, and after 1905, when new freedoms appeared, and the press boom began, the entire socio-political press was somehow opposed to the emperor. In Russia, there was no press loyal to the emperor. For it to appear, the emperor had to do something. The emperor did nothing. As a result, he lost the information war instantly. Not understanding these new developments. Similarly, he lost the war with the Duma. Roughly speaking, he did not have his own party in power. Monarchist parties at some point came to the conclusion that unconditionally the monarchy should remain, but Nicholas is a bad monarch. That's what I call being a 19th century politician.

- Lucrezia Borgia will not be able to influence the Neapolitan court, nor will your queen influence the game.
I have a king, two officers and a horse. Is there a place for Dad in this game?
- There is no such piece in chess.
- And in the succession to the throne there is such a figure!

Absolute - independent, unaccountable. In an absolute monarchy, for example, the sovereign does whatever he wants until he is killed. There are not many absolute monarchies left; most of them gave way to limited monarchies, where the evil (or good) done by sovereigns is fairly veiled, and also to republics that are governed by chance.

For his honor, as for his own.

Dreams of Italian Carbonarism and German Tugendbund! Republican chimeras of all high school students, lyceum students, undercooked thinkers from the university audience. They look stately and beautiful, in their essence they are pitiful and harmful! The republic is a utopia, because it is a transitional, abnormal state, ultimately always leading to a dictatorship, and through it to an absolute monarchy. There has never been such a republic in history that in difficult times would have done without the arbitrariness of one person and which would have avoided defeat and destruction when there was no efficient leader in it. The forces of the country are in concentrated power, for where everyone rules, no one rules; where there is any legislator, there is no firm law, no unity of political goals, no inner harmony. What is the consequence of all this? Anarchy!

I cannot say that I am a supporter or an opponent of democracy. This is ridiculous. Democracy is a form of government. Its meaning is very simple. The people (the majority) choose their leader. In the current situation, I don't really know how you can do it differently. I am a great lover of the monarchy. But the monarchy existed when the people sincerely believed that the monarch is the messenger of God. Modern man does not believe in this. the reality today is that you cannot arrange society without voting. The legitimacy of power can only be obtained through voting. Therefore, in essence, all countries are democratic today. There are no countries today where the ruler would not be elected, except for super-military regimes.

The concept of democracy has got lost in three pines. You, N. V. Zlobin, say that the majority is not always right. Well, everyone, we came! This means that the majority is right only when it makes the right decisions. Hence logically: who evaluates the correctness of the decision? That's what today's global democracy is all about. Today, the criteria for assessing democracy has been reduced not to what the majority votes for, but to what the strongest countries, specifically America, legitimize.
In principle, we can agree that democracy has many advantages. But in practice, this has degenerated into only one thing: everything is determined by the strongest. America and its allies are demonstrating this to the world.
Those who today consider themselves democrats are incapable of seeing the internal flaws of democracy itself. We need a real, objective in-depth and professional analysis. This analysis is unable for Democrats around the world, including Fukuyama with his end of history. And they don't want to. Because they believe in democracy as sectarians.
You asked, what system could be better than democracy? Yes, any. You just need to know on what issue. For example, on some issues, the monarchy copes better than democracy.
Today's democrats very much resemble the stupid party functionaries of the Soviet Union.
What we can agree on is that the world is on the verge of new models. Because everyone is tired of democracy. In this mode, the world will no longer live. Let Fukuyama write at least 500 articles. What models they will be is another question. But the fact that this is an urgent and urgent need is absolutely certain.

Since the reign of Peter the Great, foreign scientists, military, diplomats, artists faithfully served the Russian monarchy. There were many immigrants from Germany among them. Their descendants settled in Russia, preserving the language and some traditions that underwent changes over time in the Russian manner, and as a result became often even more Russian than the indigenous people. What can I say, it came to the point that the Russian autocrats could rightly be called Germans. The establishment of family ties between the dynasties began with the marriage of the parents of Peter III - Tsarevna Anna Petrovna and Duke of Holstein-Gottorp Karl Friedrich. After that, the process became irreversible, and two centuries later the Romanovs already had a dominant percentage of German blood.

These monsters think to restore the monarchy in Russia?.. I had the impression from the vaults came out dead and celebrate the Sabbath, all these cameras-the Junkers, the Chamberlain, the barons of...

In fact, hot temper of the Prince did not welcome interference in the Affairs of the monarchy, but the value is not what really is, and what is sure public opinion.

- More than one million dead civilians later...
- Good win!
Yes. Until evil once again raised its head...
What? Russian again return?
- No, Saddam Hussein!
But he was just a force for good? I need to intervene! Or, conversely, to help him?
- Yeah, and now he invaded Kuwait. So simple and I will not say... Kuwait is an absolute monarchy, where women have no voting rights, but there is a slave trade.
- So Saddam is fighting for Western values?
He wants the oil fields...
- What?! My oil, my values? Somebody needs to intervene? Why does nobody do anything?
Well, the international community is not really configured to fight, they prey on the ruins of the Soviet Union...
- Thieves! The asshole pacifists! Don't they know that Iraqi soldiers threw babies from incubators?
- And who told you that? This story is fiction of the purest water!
One midwife in public at the UN confirmed! However, later it turns out that she was the daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador. Yeah, but the invention of one of a PR Agency, and sometimes evil need some PR! Yes...
- Well, you sly dog! Thus, the global public is outraged, you've made war and economic embargo. Over a million dead!
And once again good has triumphed!

Its birth no matter who was on the doomed discipline, it in the same way and to submit to the throne was born.
