There is a strange superstition among right-wing romantics.
They look at monarchy through an Instagram filter.
Crowns. Marble. Traditions.
They imagine order and stability.
But if you remove the gold and the myths, you see the truth:
A monarchy is not the opposite of communism.
It is communism concentrated in one man.
People do not like to hear this.
They prefer fantasies over structure.
But the structure doesn’t lie.
Monarchy and Communism Share the Same DNA
Monarchists pretend they are defending hierarchy and property.
Communists pretend they are defending equality and the people.
Both lie.
At the foundation you find the same principle:
The state owns everything.
Under communism, the Party owns the country.
Under monarchy, the King owns the country.
Different costumes. Same mechanics.
Both can tax you by force.
Both can conscript you.
Both can take your land.
Both can shut your mouth.
Both can redirect your entire life.
None of this is voluntary.
This is not private property.
This is political property.
This is the destruction of individual ownership.
The King Is Not a CEO. He Is a Party Secretary Wearing Jewelry
Hoppe tried to argue that a king behaves like a long-term owner.
This sounds elegant on paper.
It collapses the moment you touch reality.
A king cannot sell the country.
He cannot liquidate assets.
He cannot file for bankruptcy.
He cannot operate inside a competitive market.
He inherits power. He does not earn it.
This is not ownership.
This is central planning with royal branding.
In practice, a monarch behaves like the head of a communist committee.
Long horizon. Zero accountability.
Total power. No market discipline.
It is the same structure as the USSR.
Just with better architecture.
Behind Every King You Find a Bureaucracy Running the Show
Monarchists pretend everything is simple.
A wise king. A loyal nobility. A harmonious society.
This is fiction.
Real monarchies were full of:
- courts
- factions
- advisors
- clergy
- generals
- gatekeepers
- parasites
The king becomes a logo.
The machine runs itself.
This is exactly what happened in communist states.
A “General Secretary” on top.
A giant bureaucracy underneath.
The head is symbolic.
The body rules.
Monarchy and communism both produce the same monster:
a managerial state with no market feedback and no exit.
Both Systems Treat the Population as State Property
Monarchists love to speak about dignity and tradition.
Communists speak about the workers and equality.
Neither believes in individual sovereignty.
In both systems you are not an owner.
You are not a free agent.
You are a managed resource.
The state decides:
- your taxes
- your obligations
- your mobility
- your education
- your military duty
- your loyalty
This is not “order.”
This is possession.
The communist collective farm and the feudal manor are identical in logic.
Different eras.
Same relationship.
Central Planning Fails Whether the Planner Is a Politburo or a Prince
Mises destroyed the idea of central planning forever.
You cannot replace markets with commands.
You cannot replace price discovery with a throne.
Both systems crash for the same reason.
The planner does not know enough.
He cannot know enough.
No king. No party. No committee can coordinate millions of decisions.
Monarchies decayed.
Communist states collapsed.
The pattern is universal.
Monarchy Is Communism With Better Aesthetics
When you strip monarchy to its skeleton you find:
- concentrated power
- hereditary privilege
- zero accountability
- command over society
- bureaucracy
- central planning
- political ownership
Exactly the same elements as communism.
Communism collectivizes power.
Monarchy personalizes it.
One red. One gold.
Same structure. Same results.
Monarchism is not a noble alternative to democracy.
It is not a romantic return to tradition.
It is the same collectivist disease in a different costume.
Monarchism is a hard variant of communism.
The iron version. The rigid version.
The version that pretends to be sacred.
At the end, the individual is crushed all the same.
