Diarchy Peasant 12/10/18 (Mon) 01:08:06 No.5262

Many anons like to praise 'experiment' monarchies or other forms of government. These turn out to become republicanism behind the veneer of a crown. A constitutional monarchy. Or, a direct democracy. I don't see enough forms behind the roles of monarchs. Because two is better than one, I am throwing out the concept of 'diarchy'. Two monarchs; or, a monarch and a 'leadership' rule like 2nd pic 'Duce'. This is experimental and expands the role of monarchs into two.

>what fascinates you about diarchy

I fancy the idea of two leaders rather than an assembly or clique. Outside of the autocratic and absolute form of monarchy like the Imperial Tsardom or Kingdom of France, I am impressed with the idea of a diarchy.

>inb4 this government is prone to splits

I still find it better. No political body will last forever. Of course.

Spartan diarchy.

>The state was ruled by two hereditary kings of the Agiad and the Eurypontid families, both descendants of Heracles and equal in authority so that one could not act against the power and political enactments of his colleague, though the Agiad king received greater honour by virtue of seniority of his family for being the "oldest extant" (Herod. vi. 5).

>There are several legendary explanations for this unusual dual kingship, which differ only slightly; for example, that King Aristodemus had twin sons, who agreed to share the kingship, and this became perpetual.

Other anons have the Athenian love for democracy, while others love the Spartan kingship/oligarchy on this board. Then there's the monarchy of Macedonia.

>what if they disagree?

They continue to disagree, have recourse, or veto each other's actions and act independently; or, a civil war; or, the diarch does his will without caring about the other. It definitely isn't without conflict. Disagreement doesn't necessarily need to have a war? It has the potential to evolve into a serious matter.

Spartan kings only had authority in religion and war. The state was ruled as a republic.

>Other anons have the Athenian love for democracy

Honestly if there's one thing that brings anons together, it's a disdain for democracy. /pol/, /leftypol/, /liberty/, /monarchy/, all of them laugh at the idea of democracy, with only the newest of newfags as the dissenting voices.

Are you sure about them? I'm pretty sure that lot is pro-democracy.

They like to talk like they're against the idea of democracy as a concept, but they usually end up going back to being democratic anyways. Only a notable number of /pol/lacks detest democracy.

I suppose it depends on which ones. The hardcore tankies are all about 'SCREW VOTING, VIOLENT MOB TAKEOVER NAO', LARPing like vid related. Although you could argue that a bloodthirsty mob is exactly what democracy is.

>>5288

Fair enough, they are republican at heart, although they are very outspoken against democracy.

Sparta was also a slave pit that failed to keep its women doing their duty and not acting slutty.

>Spartan kings only had authority in religion and war, goy. that means nothing in terms of power, goy. let alone being kings. the state was a republic because war and religion mean nothing in terms of power and authority. it's all about cha-ching.

This is your mind on republicanism. I said it was an oligarchy too. To suggest it was a full on republic is insincere. They also had kings take on influential roles too and the oligarchy is something that just grew upon itself the more powerful and influential Sparta became.
