Bringing back memories of my misspent youth there.
Of course.
KC Lion, thank you for the ping.
Since perhaps Wilson we did not have a government of national interest, except maybe Reagan’s first term and a few similarly short earlier episodes. I think it is time to realize that.
Problem is, we cannot simply proclaim ourselves a monarchy. It needs to organically emerge from among aristocracy, which we don’t really have either. However, it would be good if at least there were a popular movement that recognized the need for a ruling monarch. A starting point is to realize that as soon as a single man of modest ability gets set as a monarch whose child inherits after him, all our national plagues will be resolved at once: the budget will be balanced, the foreign trade will pursue national (American national, not Chinese national) interest, the troops will come home, the infrastructure will be tended to, doctors will be self employed professionals once again, the militarized police will be a thing of the past...
If you want to be on this right wing, monarchy, paleolibertarianism and nationalism ping list, but are not, please let me know. If you are on it and want to be off, also let me know.
Eight Predictions
- Attempts to restrain democracy with constitutional republicanism will not succeed. The modern democratic state will fail very soon, perhaps even during our lifetime.
- The geographically compact capitalist enterprises will survive, at least inasmuch as they contribute to the material culture. That is, hardware, power, construction, transportation and agriculture. The entire cosmopolitan supernational money-changing pseudoeconomy will crash.
- Security will be handled by an interlocking system of private security firms, insurance companies and neighborhood associations.
- Men will nourish their spiritual needs by congregating into religiously, and often nationally homogeneous villages. We'll see Catholic villages, Lutheran villages, Muslim villages, and Agnostic trailer parks, all with ethnic flavors. Places of worship will become universal centers that also provide education and meeting place.
- Consolidation of power will lead to expulsion of inassimilable minorities; the culturally compatible villages will develop trade and security relationship of trust.
- A class of town elders and warlords will emerge. That will be the new aristocracy. Their children will have the natural advantage of proximity to power, and it will be easy for most of them to inherit power. Likewise, the educated class will ensure its own comfort and stability by making itself indispensable to power. Rights will come from property ownership and so will be primarily inherited rights or contractual rights. Political rights will for the most part atrophy due to irrelevance. At this point we will enter the New Feudal Society.
- The public space will become property of the local warlord, first de-facto, because he is the owner of the security firm responsible for the public space, and then de-jure. These men will become new royalty and will distinguish themselves from other nobles, as they will have a responsibility for public order. They will preside in the royal court, and with time begin to appoint professional judges.
- Unlike the Middle Ages, the New Feudal Society will heavily depend on trade, because, of course, the outward life styles won't change, and we still will have cars, computers, washing machines, the Internet and all that other stuff that will not be homegrown. This will ensure stability through mobility, as those dissatisfied with the local government will find opportunities elsewhere. This is different from the Middle Ages where the lower classes had to make do with whatever land lord they were born under. It is therefore possible that the New Feudal Society will not collapse into absolute monarchism in the way the medieval feudalism did.
>>The third thing to be done would be restore the original constitution.
The best bumper sticker I’ve seen recently: “Legalize the Constitution.”
FIFY
I like that:) I should put that on my truck here in Alberta too for kicks heh.
We are approaching that path.
Israel demanded a King. Everything went downhill from there.
We need Christ the King!
They were made in 2003 or 2004, by the way.
The first step in solving a problem is to admit you have a problem. I don't think most Americans believe that our cultural, economic, and demographic destruction is deliberate. So the first step is to raise awareness.
Once enough people are aware we can simply arrest those that are doing this and put them on trial. If the authorities won't do it then we have to remove the authorities and put people in there that will.
In other words, he or she would do most of the stuff that we have no objection to the president doing, leaving the president free to get up to all manner of mischief.
I'm not sure that it really works, though. Whenever Germany, say, wants a ceremonial occasion to actually mean anything, it's the Chancellor (Prime Minister) who has to be there, not the President. I wonder whether many Germans actually know who their President is.
There is no such thing as “non-partisan.” They’re either Republican, Democrat or unannounced Democrat. That’s it. Anybody who says they’re “non-partisan” always end up being liberal Democrats.
