Who

Here are some of the economists, thinkers, philosophers, politicians, theologians, and businessmen that have most influenced the various strains comprising Anarcho-Monarchism.  The vast majority of these individuals were what today would be called libertarians. Decidedly, a few were not; some even opposed libertarianism. At first glance, this may be an oddly sorted collection of individuals – some were traditionalists, others classical liberals; some were republicans, others monarchists, and still others were anarchists; most were Christians, but a few were Jews, Muslims, or held no religious creed at all – but I think each, in a unique way, added to the principles of liberty, natural law, and ordered society.  I view Ordered Liberty through the ages as a diamond in the rough, and that each one of these individuals went to work polishing a little here and a little there, refining the beauty that She is. Note that no implication is given that I agree with every one of these individuals’ positions 100%, nor that this should be understood as an exhaustive listing.

    But who are you? What academic background led you to this novel position? I’d be fascinated to know.

    • anarchomonarchism

      I’m nobody, really. I’m just someone that became interested in politics and philosophy seriously around 2003. Before that, I was just your typical Religious Right Republican. But, thanks primarily to the Internet, I have read many works since that time and have continually refined my positions.

  • Anarcho-Monarchist

    My transition to an Anarcho-Monarchist philosophy was much simpler than yours. I, in fact, would like to be as well read as you. I do read a lot, but you must be a faster reader than me or something.

    Anyway, my philosophy comes from a couple of factors. The first being that I have always been a Libertarian: my first hard stance was minarchism. Appreciating the culture of England specifically — and English monarchism — I became what I referred to as a “monarchic minarchist.” Then I read some Rothbard, and realized the immorality of any State. But I never abandoned symbolic monarchism. So, essentially, then, I am simply a monarchist of the English tradition mixed with Rothbardian anarchism. Power is the antithesis of true monarchy: though I often see many statist monarchists. I will say that I even appreciate the statist monarchist view over such as democracy.

    Are you an American too, by the way?

    • anarchomonarchism

      Yes, I am American. But I love the old monarchies from Europe, especially the Habsburgs.

  • Anarcho-Monarchist

    And I just wanted to compliment you, that you sir are a true intellectual, and it is a joy to have found your book recommendations and website.

    • anarchomonarchism

      Thank you for your kind words.
