Title: Anarcho-Monarchist FAQ Author: Thomas Croon Date: 2022 Language: en Topics: Anarcho-Monarchism Notes: The only article on the internet of what Anarcho-Monarchism really is!
<strong>Anarcho-Monarchist FAQ
1. What is Anarchism?
Anarchism is the belief in the abolition of all government and the
organization of society on a voluntary, cooperative basis without
recourse to force or compulsion, without an unjust hierarchy.
2. What is Monarchism?
Monarchism is the belief that society should be ruled by a monarch, by
one person.
3. What is Anarcho-Monarchism?
Anarcho-Monarchism is the amalgamation of two seemingly contradictory
ideologies into one. Anarcho-Monarchism is the belief that a voluntary
monarchy can exist within an anarchist society through voluntary choice.
The preferable system to the rule of none is the rule of one.
4. Isn’t Anarcho-Monarchism an Oxymoron?
Yes, because anarchos means “without ruler” and monarchy means “alone to
rule”. However, this system can still work.
5. How does an Anarcho-Monarchist Society Work?
There will be a democratically created constitution that the monarch
must follow. The constitution takes the coercive powers away from the
monarch, and the monarch becomes a ceremonial monarch with minimal
power. Because so much power is taken away from the monarch, the
preferable system is anarchism. Following the monarchy is voluntary, and
the monarch cannot force an individual to follow him or her. The Monarch
must act in a way that is voluntary, non-coercive, and equitable.
Society is based around the concept of everything being voluntary,
whether it be actions or work.
6. If the Monarchy is Voluntary to Follow, then what is the Point of
Having One?
A monarchy gives people a feeling of unity, stability, continuity, and
protection. Some may want to follow it for those reasons, and some
people just like the idea of having a leader over them. Others may not
want to follow a voluntary monarch, viewing it as hierarchical or
redundant, and that is ok.
7. If Anarchism is Against Unjust Hierarchies, then why would one Follow
a Monarch?
When anarchists fight against hierarchies, they fight against those that
use coercive forces and ones that bring inequalities. However,
Anarchists don’t fight against voluntary hierarchies such as parents,
parental figures, teachers, and celebrities. The hierarchy in
Anarcho-Monarchism is voluntary because people choose to allow a monarch
to exist.</strong>
