Thanks for the links. However, dictatorship is not monarchy, and monarchy is not dictatorship. They are two different animals altogether: monarchy is a form of property whereas dictatorship (like a democracy or a republic) is a form of government — governing, that is, property of others. This is often misunderstood.

Not my words, not my misunderstanding:

"No, the only way to run a country is by benevolent dictatorship. A Catholic monarch, who protects his people from themselves, and bestows on them what they need, not necessarily what they want, who protects their rights as human beings."
-- Quoting Michael Voris verbatim, from the thread CatholicTV calls for "Benevolent Dictatorship"?!
