Read Nineteen Eighty-Four. Oligarchy simply doesn't work.Choosing the best fit for leadership as "kings" isn't really monarchy, it's... ogliarchy? Or something, I dunno. But it has it's own name. Choosing the best to lead the worst or something.

"When conversing about oligarchy, you must consider this point: Many children are taught from an early age that monarchies are primarily benevolent, and are given very little to discourage this opinion until at least adolesence. Even more prevalent are stories about the supposed benevolence of heirs to the throne, symbolising a cycle which they are taught is good."
Monarchy is further from perfection than the ideals of communism. Most of us left it in the past about 75 years ago, at the end of World War I, the French and Americans even earlier. It's a defunct system. Dead.
Notice that most kingdoms today have horrible poverty throughout most of the population. That isn't something I support.

That's why you don't want to mess around with somebody who's come from a political-based forum board.You're wayyy too serious.
Of course, now I see why everyone wants you to stop posting...

Irritable and stubborn, the Dragon is a real big mouth and his words often outrun his thoughts. Nevertheless, his opinions are worth listening to and his advice is always good. People do, in fact, listen to him and his influence is considerable. The Dragon is over-proud. He is enthusiastic to the point of impetuosity, and he loses his temper easily.
If you'd bother reading the thread you'd notice Spazmo said I should stop posting and that most people disagree with him.RAK wrote:That's why you don't want to mess around with somebody who's come from a political-based forum board.You're wayyy too serious.

There's no "pseudo" about it. I might be an asshole, but at least I'm an intellectual asshole.You're right, people who's come from political boards are assholes pseudo-intellectuals. I don't wanna mess with this kind of shit.
That's the gist of it. Except the proletariat will not rise until the revolution, and the revolution cannot happen without the proletariat, or something like that.Yeah. But they eat away a lot of governemental dollars, amigo!
Kill the royalty! All proletarians rise!
