Is corporatist sentiment unfounded with monarchy?
I don't believe it is. Even the Church itself is called
>The Body of ChristWhich is a corporatist mantra – indeed, the Church is supposed to act like one body, does it not?
It is strange, then, the Medievalists (like the Tocquevillists & De Jouvenel) would detest corporatist thinking most of all – and strike boldly to say that a kingdom should not act like one unitary body or one personhood.
De Jouvenel - The Republic of Old:>"It thus appears that the rulers do not form, as in our modern society, a coherent body which, from the minister of state down to the policeman, moves as one piece."Now granted this to Medievalists or Tocquevillists – just because by accident of history that Medieval states didn't operate as State Corporatism or as One Body, that still doesn't disqualify the compatibility of Monarchies with Corporatist sentiment or if it is better that way.
A big difference I see between absolutist & mixed constitutionalist sentiment is here:
While the former believes in solidifying & keep integral the unity & sovereignty of the State to keep its stability, the other stresses division and mediocrity for to stress stability.
Back to Plato's Republic & Aristotle's Politics:
For Plato, common feeling & unity was the anchor of States; for Aristotle, mediocrity, pluralism, & a strong middle class was the anchor of States.
The former is maintained in Fascism/Absolutism, the latter for Distributism.
