Yet education has continued to show me that republicanism is an ill-fated dream, and monarchy is the only solid (albiet not infallible) system of government. Modern Italy is yet another brilliant example of this. Education does not form republics, demagogues do. Education teaches the people why listening to those demagogues is a bad idea, and why having a monarchy is among the best ideas out there.<br /><br />On a side note, I had earlier in this post mis-typed the word "republics" as "repuglics" which, though initially an accident, I feel could be a fitting nick name, as most republics are rather repugnant.Reactionary Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353684812956748658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-88271263349701721122012-06-25T08:02:35.891-05:002012-06-25T08:02:35.891-05:00The only thing giving me hope is the passionate mo...The only thing giving me hope is the passionate monarchists educating and advocating the Italian people about the re-installment of the Kingdom of Italy. Naturally these monarchists are against a large, biased democrat and republican wall here. Additionally, the media and the academia emit fear, insults, and propaganda regarding the Kingdom of Italy and the House of Savoy. Yes, indeed, these monarchists have a big challenge, but they are winning ground ever gradually, especially in central and southern Italy where monarchist hearts remain strong.

Just like such scams, they promise the moon and stars and for a time can seem to work, even work very well in some cases, but eventually you cannot keep ahead of the creditors (social, moral or economic) and finally it all collapses. If the Italian people as a whole can be moved to shake off the shackles of internationalism and big government, I have no doubt that these people who once conquered the world could astound everyone again with their success.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-40746200322997532692012-06-24T21:25:55.351-05:002012-06-24T21:25:55.351-05:00As an Italian, I am embarrassed of my homeland.

To outsiders, it is easy to see the generalizations, as with any nation; however, it is much more complex that there is not enough space here to write about it. One must be born AND live here to fully comprehend what I am saying. Outsiders moving here to live here is not enough to understand. Italy has a very knotty history and that complexity explains our people, our culture, our language, and so forth. There is more than meets the eye and it is not easy to explain. Democrats and republicans say that a democratic or a republican form of government is less burdensome and less oppressive than a monarchical form of government. As Mr. MM observed very well, the hypocrisy of democracies and republics are entertaining. I like to compare democracies and republics to “get rich quick” scams. No doubt there are many problems with my homeland. The only solution to Italy's problem is to secede from the European Union, to abolish the republican form of government, and to reinstall the monarchical form of government. I am afraid that if my fellow Italians do not wake from their democrat and republican cesspits, as I did recently, then Italy will cease to exist as a people. There is beautiful history, culture, and language here and I would hate to see that end owing to continual plunder, principles of collectivism, and democratization.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
