I can see you guys are great readers of Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Moveon.org

Not exactly. Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, and Charles Coulombe would be more like it.

Please open your eyes and come to terms with the fact that the world of political theory is a lot bigger than the Democratic vs. Republican charade. Any point of view which dissents from American neoconservatism is not necessarily leftist.

Add to that list virtually every pope upto Pius XII - Leo XII and Pius X were particularly strong monarchists, St. Thomas Aquinas, Plato, Aristotle, Hilaire Belloc, Christopher Dawson, JRR Tolkien... the list is endless - and all but the early pagan philsophers, devoutly Catholic. I can see you guys are great readers of Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Moveon.org

Leftism is rabidly anti-monarchial, it is the left in every European country, Australia and Canada that is trying to abolish the remaining monarchies. Monarchism is the essence of conservatism - although like Kuehnelt-Leddihn I prefer "man of the right" to conservative. It is only conservatism in America that is fundamentally opposed to monarchy, because it has it roots in Whiggery. Conservatives in nearly every other country in the world are monarchists.
