And that was precisely my point.So de facto the same reason royalty and nobility had back in history?
Then here you have it.
We still have nobility. And that would not be an issue if the nobility had reasons to be patriotic. But they don't, because all power is in transnational institutions, and said nobility (plutocracy) is also transnational.
The "transnationality problem" seems to be something that neither monarchy nor democracy can easily deal with. You pretty much need to either have some kind of nationalist government (in democracy, got to elect a nationalist party, in monarchy, well, be lucky with the royal family i guess) or the country has to be a global pariah like North Korea.
That is actually why I consider monarchy to be more functional than modern democracy.>major
Here's the problem. Many have smaller parties that aren't, and most of the major ones only got subverted no more than few decades ago from leftist infiltration, while, at least in theory, in democracy it is possible for small parties to become large, and large parties to become small (happened in Poland to socialdemocrats, went from ruling party of several times to ~10% party).
It's definitely a dysfunctional system when this can't happen despite public dissatisfaction with the large parties, but it was functional when the choice did exist, and still does in countries that don't have this established party subversion problem on such large scale.
You cannot elect a nationalist party in the modern system, because the political parties and the media are all owned by the globalists. In Croatia, during the 1990s we had half a dozen parties that weren't owned by either Communists or foreign plutocrats - specifically, HSP (Croatian Party of Rights) and related parties - but come 2000s, and all of them got bought out. When it came to HSP itself, Communist infiltrators got Ante Đapić into power, and so the party got largely neutralized. Today, while it does appear they managed to get some of the Communists out (otherwise I don't see how Karlo Starčević would have gotten elected) it is basically a political nonentity, especially compared to the still ruling Communist Party.
Or look at the US. Republicans and Democrats are both international leftists. Donald Trump managed to leverage social media to achieve some degree of success, but he ended up achieving nothing important, and with the Communist crackdown on social media, it is unlikely his success can be replicated easily, if at all.
Frankly, accident of birth may well be a more functional system in terms of ensuring prosperity than this clownshow we have nowadays. But yes, transnationality problem would always remain.
Also, I don't really know which countries don't have established party subversion problem. Only countries that come to mind are Hungary, Poland, and possibly Czech and Slovak Republics, but that is only if we are looking through rose-tinted glasses. Other than that... and even if parties haven't been subverted, NGO's have.
Possibly. But that seems to be limited to the West for some reason. In central Europe, last time we had aWhich is a result of stable, reasonable and functional law&order plus relatively free and stable economic policy.
Technically almost any government can do that, but the incentives and reasonings will vary and so it seems fairly rare overall.
Historically if a monarchy does it, it looks like it soon stops being a monarchy or turns into a figurehead one, so, probably monarchy is a poor choice for promoting it.
