Of course that is true. I was speaking of Democracy and how it can be a tyranny despite issues of numbers and majority.

An absolute monarchy possessing the nation and the sovereignty truly cannot violate rights of vessels that have no rights is hardly a recommendation for that form of government. Instead, it is merely a description.

However, a monarchy where property rights exist, where takings are restricted from the monarch as in the “King IN Parliament” in the British system of old can well be free of tyranny.

Functionaries in communism change their descriptions to democrats and never change positions is what is pointed out by the article and the reason is that democracy is no lodestone — it holds no healing posers or magic.

[vassals] that have no rights

That is no monarchy then, but a slaveholder estate. In monarchies throughout history everyone had property rights, not just the king.
