This website declares monarchy a valid and apropriat political form. It is ment to present royalist theory with contribushons
and discusion of royalist ideas.
Politics Examind
It woud be good to asert a political crisis in our time. For that woud portend chanje. Insted we find political inersha.
Wich is yet reason enuf for a new treatment of politics. A jenuinly radical examinashon from its orijins.
There ar many consepshons of the political. A working definishon wil suit our purposes. Politics: that organizashon
by wich men in groups acomplish the tasks set befor them. Politics is simpl. Politics is primitiv. It is rooted in the
relashons of men as we liv our lives every day. How we liv is ultimatly a spiritual question. The political as the spiritual
is a basic truth of royalism.
We wil need to recount
How it Was
becaus how it was is not how it is. It seems that deep within the mind, the impresion exists that there is mor in the
world than there apears to be. We woud say that from the begining of consiusnes men hav delt with the presens of the unseen.
This unseen was perhaps not wel understood, yet it manifested itself powerfuly in the life of the comunity. It was brout
to consiusnes in many forms; and many institushons developt as expresions of lov and onor for the graeter presens in the comunity.
The Graeter
A fundamental human idea is the graeter. That wich is mor than what we ar. Thru al time the graeter is the proper focus
of the self. The only focus for whatever graetnes we may ourselvs atain. We no not whens it coms, yet the graeter is the
graetest gift we'v bin given.
That wich is mor than what we ar. In human afairs, they that ar graeter wer made manifest. Lov and onor acrued to them.
The King
Just as relijusly the graeter is the unseen, politicaly it is manifested in the king. The bedrok of politics: hoo requires
no justificashon: the king is a mystery we respect.
When the graeter is prevalent in consiusnes the result is a natural flow of lov and onor between king and peepl, as consiusnes
of the graeter operated no les in the king himself. For the thing that is kingship is ever graeter than the man hoo is king.
If monarchy is the most seemly and jenuinly human political form, the question arises, why is monarchy now nowhere on
the political horizon? To anser this we must investigate the nature of
Culture
Culture is what the world is. The quintesential creashon of humanity, culture tels us hoo we ar, where we ar, and why
we ar. Every culture provides a diferent set of ansers. Every culture describes a diferent world. Yet, exept for primitivs,
things arn't static. There is the proses of discovery. The sucsesion of truths. The esential fact of culture is chanje.
Truths apear, even the graetest truths, wich in turn becom meaningles. When the esential truths of a culture die, that culture
dies. Cultures may be considerd discrete organisms displaying a recognizabl life sycle of youth, maturity, and decay.
In political terms, a culture's youth and maturity develop under monarchy: the state under wich its graetest truths apear.
For the sycolojy of monarchy is the graetest to wich we may atain: the sycolojy of lov and onor.
Why ask why a culture declines? Let it sufise that the edifises we bild, the worlds we create, ar never proof against
time.
The Decline
When the graeter can no longer be aknolejd it is we hoo becom smal. The sycolojy of lov and onor is no longer tenabl
and we regres bakwards from the adult to the adolesent. A new sycolojy apears, that of self and rebelion, and a poltical
form apropriat to that sycolojy: democrasy.
The Democratic Rebelion
And a new doctrine is formulated in its suport: equality. The antithesis and negashon of the graeter. But it is not
simply the graeter that the democratic man is in rebelion against, for by now as a respectabl idea it has long bin put to
rest. Rather he rebels against any obstacl to his desire. Ultimatly he is in rebelion against law. Thus it is that the
ultimat tendensy of democrasy is nihilism and its ultimat goal is its own self-destrucshon. For when the political standard
is the satisfacshon of the self, then inevitably the quality of that standard, the quality of that self, wil decline. For
politicaly speaking the self and the peepl ar equivalent. Such is the fatal flaw of democrasy and why democratic life inexorably
worsens, even if the proses takes many jenerashons. The democratic system becoms unworkabl and a revolushon heralds a new
era, even if in name democratic.
When the democratic rebelion is complete, the strugl is over and the victory won. We arive at a lawles despotic sosiety
in wich the state no longer servs the law but is itself the law. But long befor that point a new political sycolojy aserts
itself. For our adolesent has bin geting younger. The sycolojy of despotism is the sycolojy of the child: that of need and
fear.
The Despotic Era
Aparently tecnolojy, democrasy, and capitalism ar intimatly intertwined. Capitalsim is the nuts and bolts of materialism.
Soshalists require capitalists to maintain an acseptabl standard of living. But with the colaps of the ethos of producshon
and consumpshon soshalists wil rein supreme in the graetly contracted economic life of the despotic era. Likewise there wil
be a tecnical regresion. But the demise of the relijon of power wil present new spiritual posibilitys. New relijons wil
proliferate.
The despotic state, ministering to the needs and the fears of Americans, wil be an esentialy stable rejime. Its chalenjes
wil be external.
The Volkerwanderung
The youngest strongest most vigorus cultures in the world today ar those of blak Africa. Curently beset by the West,
they wil com into their own after the end of world culture. How wil they resist when a new world is theirs for the taking?
These blak wil suplant the peepl and culture of white America. And there wil be a new blak America, not of slaves but of
free men, and royalist as it befits them.
About War
There is only won reason, only won justificashon for war: to win glory. Behind every military desision lies the question, to hoom goes the glory? For glory goes to hoom that puts the most at risk. Thus obviusly, machines canot fite our wars for us. In any conflict, the nobler side is the les tecnical side. When this is realized, war wil rise to its proper level: hand to hand.
The Present Time
The permutashon of Christianity into Soshalism has markt the deth of the cultures of Western Europe. Democrasy, as we
hav seen, is the political expresion of atheism. We can not say how much longer democrasy wil last, but we ar closer to the
end than the begining of the democratic period. Despotism is far away, yet even now we see eyes on the state to meet the
need for the nesesitys of life (universal helth care) and the fear of external enemys (terorism). In such a context royalism
is preposterus. In such a context to declare the truth is preposterus.
The Political Truth
No political form or ideolojy has escaped the inevitability that in whatever field of endevor, they that exel, lead.
Royalism simply embrases the fact. Royalism is the cult of the exelent.
Lov and Politics
A radical asks fundamental questions. What is the basis of politics? What is the basis of male organizashon? Political
lov, while esential to monarchy, rings stranje to democratic ears. Very stranje. Not lov, but a deep and abiding suspishon
greets the ofisholder. A worthy suspishon, if voter and ofisholder be of the same fabric. Let us state the case clearly.
Lov is the only jenuin political basis. Not fear, nor greed, nor ambishon can compel us to work as a group, lov being absent.
Such it was from the begining and political lov was most hiely developt by the institushons of monarchy. To supose that lov
may be suplanted by equality is a grievus eror and failure of the mind. We do not lov becaus we ar equal; on the contrary,
when we can not lov we demand equality.
Why Royalism
Monarchy wil not be establisht in the United State, for the human material does not exist. Clearly, any sentralizing
of authority wil expres a move in the despotic direcshon. No mor than a plant that has flowerd, can a culture renew itself.
Yet that fact can not prevent a clear persepshon of our sircmstanses from manifesting itself. Wether there is won royalist
or a dozen or a hundred, royalism's fate is to be the satyagraha of politics. What maters is to hav lookt deeply into our
sircumstanses, and to hav found a beter way.
Closing Thouts
It's bin sed that the Greeks invented politics: that in a milieu of surounding monarchys, they first developt new political forms. The statement of cors betrays a democratic bias. For a real insite into the political, we must examin not inovashons, but the prevalens and persistans of monarchy acros time and acros plase. The Royalist Party is the result of that inquiry. The work was dun in a vacuum. For a long
time the left has bin an intelectual nulity. Nothing vital coud com from that plase. And the rite for obvius reasons was
incapabl of being radicalized. Even in relijus guise it coud go bak no further than capitalism, and the asumpshons implisit
in that view of the world. Lest any dout, the Royalist Party is heathen in its orijins.
