I’m always in favor of a Monarchy being removed. And I laugh at how monarchist apologists love to fawn about how benevolent they were.
The bottom line is that the Monarchy was absolute. The Roman church supported this and said his right to rule came from God, not from the people.

This is reason enough to revolt. And there was no way to do it that wouldn’t become bloody, not in Europe.

And much of the blame should be laid at the feet of the Vatican and the French Monarchy. Had they not engaged in their unholy enterprise and ruled by force rather than consent, the revolution would have never happened.

Claim to rue over others? You pays your money, you takes your chances.

So we are in agreement! You think the Bolshevik Revolution and Mao's takeover of China (both replacing Kings) were good! Everyone it entitled to their own opinion, but not all opinions are created equal.

By the way, you wont like Jesus Christ when He comes back then. He is coming back to rule and reign as King of Kings.

I always felt something for English Bob in Forgiven, not because he's a kind of monarchist, or "upper-class fake," as Richard Harris would say, but because of the way that beastly American sheriff kicked the sh!t out of him.
