This. Everyone's a monarchist when the King is competent, but people learn to embrace Republicanism when the King dies and his son is a corrupt piece of shit.

A meritocratical tyrant is still better than the useless notion of democracy.
It still has values in discussions and raising popular concerns, but not in exercing politics. Think Roman Senate during the Imperial Period.

You are making a false binary distinction between "democracy" and "monarchy." Do you consider the modern system we have, where welfare claimants and women can vote, equivalent with that of pre-20th-century Europe and ancient Greece, where only property-owning men could vote? Under the latter system, we thrived. Universal suffrage is what should be denounced.

Point made, but consider that even Plato was a proponent against democracy

True enough, but the will of even these people could be in turn nothing but a long-term smear on the nation's history.
In a meritocratical lineage, not bound by blood or even relations between the sucessor and the predecessor (thank you, Information Era), we can truly thrive because each sucessor is mainly chosen by both his capacity to maintain his nation and expand on his predecessor's plan. A democratical government inherently cannot uphold this (since it is subject to the whim of an essentially politically divided people), especially since we've put the limitations on presidential/ministerial terms.

Democracy is a meme, all that's happening is that you're choosing between two different puppets to multi national corporations and bankers.

He advocated communism and polygamy in the selfsame book. And there were illustrious thinkers on the other side; the great Pericles, for example, was in favour of the Athenian democracy.

>he unironically believes that democracy is the best political system is
This is some entry-level blue pill

That's Regent Miklós Horthy de Nagybánya to you, you insolent pleb.

>each sucessor is mainly chosen
Who makes the choice? The current autocrat?
>>131350020
The trouble is, have we not tried the system of meritocratic rule by adoption already, and found it to be a failure? Marcus Aurelius was one of the greatest Roman emperors, but he took his son Commodus, one of the most wicked men that ever lived, as his successor, thus ending the rule of the Five Good Emperors. If even a man like Marcus Aurelius could make such an appalling decision, what trust can we put in lesser men?
>Implying enlightened absolutism isn't the best form of govt
Democracy has defeated every other system of government thrown at it.

The problem is that most heirs turn out to be spoiled assholes because they are raised in the lap of luxury and don't see the country they're ruling or know about their own people.
Usually the king who united the country through war is a great ruler and keeps everything knit tightly. Then his son who saw firsthand how to rule from his father does a decent job but not quite as good. By the time it's one of his sons' turn to rule they're just spoiled little shits who don't know anything except luxuries in the palace, give or take a few generations, and the people get fed up and violently revolt and murder the nobles. Then the cycle repeats.

>Took his son
There's your problem here. Great man, but a bit too much of an ambitious father. Tbh the Romans should have banned the current bloodline up to the third degree to exclude favoritism from the equation of sucession.

Autocrat, and the sucessor must be approved by the Senate in a 80% majority minimum, along with the Philosophers of the State, rallied in an order (represented by some sort of central authority, similar to a papacy); the "Curia" at 51% majority mnimum and the "Pope", if you wish.

"He entered Berlin in triumph, after an absence of more than six years. The streets were brilliantly lighted up; and, as he passed along in an open carriage, with Ferdinand of Brunswick at his side, the multitude saluted him with loud praises and blessings. He was moved by those marks of attachment, and repeatedly exclaimed, "Long live my dear people! Long live my children!" Yet, even in the midst of that gay spectacle, he could not but perceive everywhere the traces of destruction and decay. The city had been more than once plundered. The population had considerably diminished. Berlin, however, had suffered little when compared with most parts of the kingdom. The ruin of private fortunes, the distress of all ranks, was such as might appall the firmest mind. Almost every province had been the seat of war, and of war conducted with merciless ferocity. Clouds of Croatians had descended on Silesia. Tens of thousands of Cossacks had been let loose on Pomerania and Brandenburg. The fields lay uncultivated. The very seed corn had been devoured in the madness of hunger. Famine, and contagious maladies produced by famine, had swept away the herds and flocks; and there was reason to fear that a great pestilence among the human race was likely to follow in the train of that tremendous war. Near fifteen thousand houses had been burned to the ground. The population of the kingdom had in seven years decreased to the frightful extent of ten per cent. A sixth of the males capable of bearing arms had actually perished on the field of battle. In some districts, no laborers, except women, were seen in the fields at harvest time. In others, the traveller passed shuddering through a succession of silent villages, in which not a single inhabitant remained."
