The Good
Cameralism - Based, generate as much profit as possible for the state and have welfare programs with free markets to ensure the proles stay happy

Absolute Monarchism - Just because there is no constitution or set of guidelines for you to follow, doesn't mean you wont be held accountable for your bad decisions, pretty based

Imperialism - It's only good if the winning side is less evil than the others, there will always be superpowers trying to take over the world, supporting American imperialism hurts Russia, China and Iran

Machiavellianism - You can't change the world without getting your hands dirty

The Bad
Neoconservatism - Foreign intervention and regime change is pretty neato, spreading liberal democracy and capitalism is kinda cringe though

Capitalism - Markets are necessary evil, but as long as you're kept on a leash things are fine

Social Democracy - Labor unions and some welfare is important to keeping the proles happy, but people should be expected to work and not take handouts

Dark Enlightenment - You have valid critiques but the system you propose is a little off the deep end for me

Enlightenment - Allowing individual liberty and tolerance? Cool! Supporting democracy and the separation of church and state? Cringe!

Libertarianism - I get that personal freedom and rights are cool and all, but it's harder to organize things on a large scale when there's less central administration

The Ugly
Ingsoc - Literally an abomination that can only be spawned by populist revolutionaries

Populism - Oversimplifies complex situations and is counterproductive

Anarcho-Communism - Biggest meme ideology that people believe in for some reason

Anti-Interventionists - By not intervening you're basically helping the winning side

 * Based, but a little too leftist for me


 * Your views are a little bland and boring, but also reasonable and thought-out

Comments

 * [[File:Silasf.png]] Silas: "Just because there is no constitution or set of guidelines for you to follow, doesn't mean you wont he held accountable for your bad decisions, pretty based" I mean, it's kinda hard to hold the monarch accountable for bad decisions when there's nothing to stop them from silencing you.
 * - Well considering how the the monarchs wealth and status is dependent on the success of the nation, I don't see why it would be in his interest to allow it to collapse or be conquered, oppressing the population would just create instability and populist revolts so that wouldn't be in their interest either
 * [[File:Silasf.png]]: Just because it's not a smart decision to opress the population doesn't mean they won't.
 * - They wont oppress the population if they don't have anything to gain from it, especially if the ideological center of the nation is against it, I support labor unions to give people a position to make peaceful demands to keep them happy
 * [[File:Silasf.png]]: First of all, There are various reasons why they would want to opress the population, like getting rid of opposition, hatred for a certain group of people or gaining more power (Although those are far from the only reasons why the monarch would act tyrannically). Second of all, just because you support labor unions doesn't mean the monarch will.


 * - It can't be a true monarchy if there are opposing parties or groups in government, so getting rid of rabble rousing demagogues is based


 * If it conflicts with the nations ideological bedrock to oppress certain groups out of hatred, then it would just piss off the general population


 * If the monarch were to disband all labor unions that too would piss off the proles and create further instability, consider researching Bismarck Of Prussia, he created the first healthcare system because it was in the interest of the monarchy to appease the socialists to prevent instability


 * More often than not "social progress" such as LGBT rights is just the elites trying to appease the populous to maintain stability, there were many democrat and republican politicians who switched positions on various issues just because that was the ideological direction the country was going in
 * [[File:Silasf.png]]: You're acting like the monarch is going to act perfectly logically, when the truth is that humans are inherently illogical creatures. The monarch could opress the population because it seems like a good idea to them, and not consider the consequences.


 * - I don't believe that any human is perfect, however I think that this proves my original point that an absolute monarch will still be held accountable for their bad decisions


 * In Europe the foundation of their ideology was Christianity, going against the Christian foundation would create instability and would hurt the monarch, that is why many monarchs attempted to justify political decisions with Christian undertones to appease the Church


 * In an enlightened absolute monarchy, the ideological foundation is the Enlightenment and it's values of individual liberty and tolerance, this is essentially what I support.
 * [[File:Silasf.png]] Silas: Why not have a constitution to protect that ideological foundation then?

Black drone - Add me
 * - Because sometimes you need to commit necessary evils in order to get things done and to protect the greater good
 * [[File:Silasf.png]]: But then there's no guarentee that the monarch won't violate the ideological foundation not because it's a necessary evil to do so, but simply because they don't agree with the ideological foundation.
 * - It happens all the time actually, even in the US politicians make decisions that the general population hates because politics is complicated and you need to make hard decisions, it's all about finding a balance between appeasing the masses and making difficult decisions
 * [[File:Silasf.png]]: I agree, but it's common for governments to take away civil liberties usually with an excuse like "safety", when in reality the government is just doing it for power. You're less prone to situations like this if you have a constitution.
