Confessions of an American Monarchist
23rd June 2024
There may be liberty under a right monarchy: there has come a sort of slavery under the democracies of the modern form where a political oligarchy and a money oligarchy, now in alliance, now in conflict, have brought about grave disorder, social chaos, and the negation of the free and the good life, under the forms of a free commonwealth founded on assumptions that are baseless biologically, philosophically, historically, and from the standpoint of plain commonsense.
—Ralph Adams Cram, Invitation to Monarchy
If the right people are in charge, any system will work well; if the wrong people are in charge, no system will work well. This is why we can never have nice things.
