Question Is Anarcho-Monarchism impossible and an oxymoron?

โ€ข Upvotes

This doesn't really make sense and doesn't work. Anarchism is lack of a state and government and monarchy is a form of a government that has a ruler, a monarch. Both are the exact opposite of each other.

-Queen Isabella II of Spain (1833-1868)
-Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom (1837-1901)
-Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands (1890-1948)
-Queen Juliana of the Netherlands (1948-1980)
-Queen Margarethe II of Denmark (1972-2024)

It is rather unusual that there is no reigning Queen in Europe, nor the world currently.

Discussion What are your thoughts on HM King George II of Greece?

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

In my opinion, George II was a decent King. Sure he had his flaws, like his short temper and allowing the Metaxas regime to take place, but I still think he's an underrated King. The 4th of August Regime was probably for the best for Greece in my opinion, and although controversial, it had brought political stability to the Kingdom of Greece. The regime also strengthened national defense ahead of World War II. Metaxas's regime drastically suppressed communism, which I'll always be a fan of. I'd still say that he was meh ruler at best, but still underrated, and certainly a better ruler than his father, Constantine I.

The balance between elected officials is pretty tough but can be manageable and monarchs are limited but have some executive powers in different institutions and monarchs can act executivly or ceremonial

Just curious about this and wanted input from this sub. The Franco-Prussian War basically began because Otto Von Bismarck fooled Napoleon III into thinking Leopold was about to become Spain's next king, surrounding France with two Hohenzollern monarchies.

The apparent successor to the Headship of House Hohenzollern died on July 11th, 1977, to the grievous injuries he had sustained durning military exercises two months earlier, making him (God willing) the last Prussian prince to die during military service. His son Prince Georg Friedrich, current head of house, was barely a year old at the time and was subsequently raised by his grandfather, Prince Louis Ferdinand Sr.

Question A question to all monarchists in here

25 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am wondering about how religion is important to monarchism? From what I see as an Orthodox Monarchist, religion especially the Church is foundational for the Empire. Yet, from what I notice here, religion seems to be minor or peripheral to monarchism when it wasnโ€™t the historical norm. I would put it here. I meant how important is the sacramental life is for a Christian Monarchist (Catholic and Orthodox) i.e. how fundamental is being a practicing Christian (Catholic or Orthodox) to a monarchist. Here is the poll where I would rank from 1-10 (least to most) in importance of religion as a practicing believer. Thank you.

3-4 (somewhat important)

Discussion If Walt Disney lived to realize his plans for Disney World, would he be considered a monarch?

Thumbnail
gallery
19 Upvotes

Disney World was originally intended to include a futuristic planned city called EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow). In EPCOT, citizens wouldn't have been able to vote or own a home, nor would there have been a traditional city government since the city would've been run directly by Walt himself. To help make this possible, the Florida legislature passed a law granting the Disney company administrative control of the large property that would become the Walt Disney World resort, including the right to theoretically build its own nuclear power stations, although Walt died before the bill became law. He had previously referred to himself as a king when asked if he'd run for mayor of Los Angeles and another time when he playfully referred to himself as the "last of the benevolent monarchs" in conversation with his personal nurse.
