So I've been reading Plato recently. He came to the conclusion in a republic without a democracy is the best form of government.
He also came to the conclusion that democracy itself is extremely evil. If you have 51 stupid people and 49 smart people and they are in a democracy the stupid people control the smart people.
The national socialist would call this upsetting the natural order. Because the natural order is the strong and the smart should rule over the weak and the stupid.
I recommend reading Vril: The coming race. Some people claim this book is a true story.
In The coming race it is explained to the traveler "We find the family amongst us who has their house in the best order and we radiate that order to all other families"
Which brings me to the entire point. So you want to be a conservative that conserves a society or conserves a culture.
What would be the easiest simplest and best way to do that?
You find what you consider to be a model family that is living the perfect caricature of the culture that you wish to conserve. Then you prop that family up to ensure they survive. Because if that family survives that culture that you are defending will survive.
Which brings me to monarchies.
Monarchies are model families that their culture can look up to and gain inspiration from. A monarchs power wealth and historical noteworthiness is directly and proportionately tied to the flourishing of its people and land.
If you have a great King your people your culture will thrive will become wealthy, you will rule over your enemies and they will sing your names and praise what you've done for centuries upon centuries.
A great King will preserve your culture and values and even your genetic lines with his life.
If you have a terrible King you will suffer you will be poor and your culture will be thrown into the dustbin of history.
Such is natural order. The great should be allowed to rise to greatness and the weak should perish or be subjugated.
Really interesting take and I appreciate the feedback rather than just a simple two sentences. I haven’t read much Plato, tried in college but the professor was a total dbag and made it miserable so I never went back. Yeah a full democracy I don’t like because that’s just mob rule and mobs are really really dumb. I mean look at BLM that’s mob rule and it’s dumb.
I had thought that maybe monarchy was the way. Like the age of kings but like you said it has to be one who is the ideal and preserves the culture and takes care of his people. Then he will have people loyal to him and their fellow countryman. What we have now is politicians loyal to whom ever pays them the most money. I added that Vril book to reading list. Let me know if you have any other books, nonfictional as well.
Look up "Democracy: the God That Failed" by Hans Hermann Hoppe. He's a libertarian that argues that a monarchy is better than a democracy for protecting liberty and private property. You can probably find it as an audio book on YouTube or elsewhere if that's more your style. Several of the arguments he used also apply to German national socialism, and at least one was even used almost verbatim in Mein Kampf (another book that's easy to find audio versions of).
Yeah that book has been on my to be read list for awhile now. Maybe I’ll make it the next one I read, thanks!
At Our Wits End.
It's a book about how we used to be smarter and we are all collectively getting dumber.
Thanks that sounds really interesting
Many times kings are in power because they are born into it and not the smartest, bravest, or greatest of the people. But if they are a good king then what you say is true. Real natural order would be to have no orders, or anarchy. I don't want to live in that. But I also don't want to live with the government living up my asshole 24/7. So the best would be just basic elected government responsible for defense of the borders and the countries production/economy using tariffs and different trade deals. A federal force of lawmen that investigate serious crime. Elected justice system.
Yeah that sounds good too. I don’t see how anarchy would ever work. There will always be a group to take over. It would just be a land full of war lords like Somalia. Even “CHAZ” was a disaster. Plus, and maybe it’s cause I’ve been stuck working in the ghetto last 4 years, people just trash everything. Drive like maniacs. No order.
Yes you're right about anarchy but what I suggest is not full on anarchy. You still have law and order. You just don't have the government making arbitrary laws and regulations. I guess the main thing is that society is the sum of all it's people. If you have a society of shitheads nothing will really ever be good. Get out of the ghetto.
