Anti-monarchism is generally just faggotry. It usually just means removing monarchs and replacing them with a bunch of nebulous capitalist investors who are harder to keep accountable.

Britain is already capitalist and was the first capitalist country. Anti Monarchism in this context doesn't mean introducing more capitalism, it just means subtracting the vestigial appendages of feudalism. That being said, you are right that it fails to address capitalism, I just wouldn't characterize it as "replacing monarch with investors".

What's up with the sudden influx of rightoids here?

Whether or not a country is a monarchy isn't something that affects people's daily lives, and so most people will just passively support the status quo, whatever that happens to be. If you were to walk around the streets of London and ask people if we should abolish the monarchy, most people would say words to the effect of "No, what would be the point in that?", walk around the streets of Seoul asking if Korea should restore its monarchy, and you'd probably get the same answer.

That's why monarchies pretty much only get abolished in times of political turmoil, and usually aren't ever restored after that, and therefore the number of them has been going down. Not just because they're intrinsically immoral or something, but because monarchy is a fairly inconsequential, incidental institution.

At least the nebulous capitalists are not by blood above the law, fuck em. Time to finally rid the world of this retarded remnant of pre-modernity.

meaningless culture war nonsense

Profoundly anti-democratic antiquated bourgeois institutions, How is it "meaningless culture war nonsense
"? Just because you didn't think about it much before doesn't mean that it doesn't matter. much of the population doesn't see the problem in hereditary authorities or the deeply reactionary culture behind it and you don't care.

modern monarchs have no power
having a hereditary powerless pedophile as head of state or having an elected powerless pedophile as head of state makes no difference

Monarchies, especially modern ones existing in a liberal democracy, are a net drain on society. They hold up wealth and can be considered parasites. If you told Marx and Engels that in 2026 we are still plaqued with monarchs he probably wouldnt believe you. Same with Religion. Think is, people do get overall less religious but the superstructure still lacks behind alot. Birthmarks of feudalism.

>Both systems have flaws so there's no point criticizing the clearly worse one
Are there even any leftists on here?

>monarchy is worse because it just is ok
again, it literally does not matter one single bit beyond optics
