Monarchism is too locally contained and co-eval with existing ideologies...either Burkean slow-and-steady-don't-rock-the-boat conservatism or Joseph de Maistre neo-Divine Right...to really make sense to give it a separate entry.

And yes there are some monarchists who can be considered socialists, after all even Stalin wasn\'t entirely on board with taking down the Yugoslavian king. While Churchill was such a fan of Greek monarchy that he backed the Greek fascists and Nazi collaborators to reinstate them as PuppetKing for NATO. So that\'s more {{Realpolitik}} than ideology.

I mean we can discuss the ideology of monarchism but we would have to cite Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan, DivineRightOfKings and Salamanca school doctrine of {{Tyrannicide}} and maybe deal old Machiavelli and ''Literature/ThePrince''. All of them are interesting and relevant but not in terms of modern political ideologies that are still operating and relevant today and part of contemporary discourse. It would be sensible dealing historically. And monarchism would take us away from the West, we'd have to deal with Saudi Arabia, with Bhutan, with maybe the Tibetan GovernmentInExile, it's way too much to deal with.
