Do any of you guys out there see any good in the Monarchies of such countries like England? All the Monarchies are is a waste of money paid by the working class tax payers. Do any of you guys think that any Monarchies are pointless and should be removed?

Throughout History, Monarchy hasn't gained respect, it has disrespected the culture of many tribal societies
Queen Victoria's reign resulted in the colonialization of many less powerful countries, killing many innocent, indigenous people Same applies to the Spanish monarchy who wiped out many inigenous south Americans just to fullfill their greed What about Ivan the Terrible. Is using the Oprichniki to terrorize innocent peasants respectable? Monarchies from many nations have caused suffering |

England is respected for their strength; And anyway, you went really far back so I'm going to as well... Do you not know of Queen Elizabeth? She was a great queen in too many ways to name. |
