A socialist monarchy? - Alternate History Discussion Board
What do you all think of this idea?!
Personally, my only real problem with this thread is the part that talks about "unearned luxury", because, to quote from the Mad Monarchist:
But otherwise I can somewhat empathize with the intent of the above thread!!
Thoughts, anyone?!

A Monarchist Blog said:Royals are too out of touch. They have no idea how regular people live.
Some people believe this, but it simply isn’t true. Queen Elizabeth II was a mechanic and truck driver during World War II, the King of Thailand is a renowned jazz musician and composer, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has painted illustrations for several books, including the Danish edition of “The Lord of the Rings”. The Emperor of Japan grows his own rice, the King of Cambodia was a practically anonymous dance instructor before coming to the throne and many royal heirs take ordinary jobs, often in obscure places where they are unknown, after finishing school. Despite what people think, royal life is not all champagne and caviar. Compare this to many presidents who have often never worked outside the public sector in their entire lives, never served in the military (as most royals do) or ever known any other life besides making speeches and casting votes.
But otherwise I can somewhat empathize with the intent of the above thread!!
