Anarcho-Monarchism might seem like the ultimate contradiction.
Philosophically speaking, anarchism has a strong anti-democratic tradition that, far from seeing anarchism as being democracy carried to its logical conclusion, is actually far closer to being instead aristocracy universalised. Monarchy can be reinvented as a concept to serve a distinctively libertarian ethos, if one can see in the monarch a symbol of sovereignty that is reflected in the absolute sovereignty of the free individual. The word 'king' is derived from the word 'kin' - so kingship denotes kinship, the king or queen being a symbolic guardian of the people's freedom and self-determination. Thus handed down generation to generation, the monarch carries the genetic inheritance of the people in a bond of mutual co-inherence.

Get the Anarcho-Monarchism mug.n. the subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place, as maladapted to your surroundings as a seal on a beach.
Monachopsis —lumbering, clumsy, easily distracted, huddled in the company of other misfits, unable to recognize the ambient roar of your intended habitat, in which you’d be fluidly, brilliantly, effortlessly at home.

Get the Monarchist mug.Monarchism is a great and noble ideology which favors having monarchs in power ie kings and queens. Why have thousands of tyrants instead of just one? Many people in power can take your rights away just as easily or maybe even more easily than one person.

Tom: Well monarchism is the best ideology after all, you would have to be a fool to believe otherwise, monarchism worked for thousands of years in many nations.
James: I'm also a monarchist! I've had to keep it a secret for fear of being hated.
Tom: We need to defeat modernism!

Get the Monarchism mug.A form of government in which the head of goverment (a King or Queen) inherits the title.
Absolute Monarchy is where the King or Queen has absolute power and can do what he wants.
Constituitonal monarchy is when the King shares power with Parliament and must follow the rules of the constituition.
Originally, thousands of years ago, monarchy was so that one guy could control all and everyone would know who succeeded him. This way, there were no fights between people over things like laws or taxes because only one person decided that, and no fights over who would succeed him because it was his child. Unfortunately in many cases (I won't say most because that is an opinion) the ruler wasn't suited for the job and there were fights anyway. Because of this many countries either changed to Democracy or changed to Constitutional Monarchy.
