The Universalization of Monarchism, Which Leads to Anarchism

Here is a conversation that i overheard in the bus

Monarchism has its merits. The entropy of a closed system increases with time. Systems decay, systems fail. The system of governance based on the abstract ideology of democracy (ideology here being a derogatory term) fails over time, just as the system based on the authoritarianism of the one party fails. Systems fails, but Man is not a system. Man is a free agent, Man is a saint or Man is a sinner, but is not merely a system. Man can decay, but Man can progress, but more importantly Man can decay, then progress, then progress then decay, then progress, then stagnate, then progress he can put commas wherever he wants, he is free.

Trusting governance in the hand of one man then should be the wiser choice, for he is not bound to decay, unlike systems. After all shouldn't "Man rule Men, not laws" Then monarchism should be seen as something inherently higher than any system of governance. Monarchism should be seen as a universal good.

Then this principle should be universalized, all man should uphold this principle. But in our overly-egalitarian society, who can be the monarch? We do not  have one nor do we have someone with the potentiality to be our monarch. What then shall we do, wait until the 'promised' monarch comes? But each of us should realize that we may be that promised monarch. To be responsible to our belief then, is to develop the virtues of a Monarch. Each of us must then be ready if we are called or summoned to be the monarch, we need to develop the virtue of a Monarch now.

What does that mean if each of us becomes a worthy monarch? We will then have no need of laws or even a Monarch over us. We would then be our own monarchs. " Better is one who ruleth his spirit then he who taketh a city." We then would be anarchists. No state, no laws, no kings, only our duty to the the natural law and us before our God.
