Hello,
Any supporters of left-wing monarchism here? Unlike many people, I believe that monarchy can be a force for social justice. Monarchy can represent an antidote to the theory of capitalist meritocracy since the monarch does not derive his or her position from success in the capitalist marketplace. The monarch is not elected so they would not have to kowtow to plutocrats and business interests for campaign support.
The idea may seem outlandish but there is some precedent, for example the left-wing Carlist Party in Spain. The left-wing Carlists support autogestion (worker’s self-management in the economy) which appears to be similar to Yugoslavian-style socialism or guild socialism/syndicalism.
