View submission: Curtis Yarvin Says Democracy Is Done. Powerful Conservatives Are Listening.
Most are parliamentary democracies/republics with monarchs as largely functionless figureheads. That's hardly the same as actual or "absolute" monarchy.
You want more recent examples of monarchies, look at the multiple authoritarian monarchist Middle Eastern regimes (like the land of freedom that is Saudi Arabia), or fascist Japan, or fascist Spain more-or-less.
Incidentally the Nazis took power in part because many right-wing nationalists preferred their old monarchy to the Weimar era republic, and the Bolsheviks took power in part as a reaction to the hatred of the oppressive feudal monarchy that existed for so long.
But Curtis Yarvin probably doesn't think fascist states are evidence of a negative outcome.
There's nothing here!
