Demanding that actions have to be "justified" to some nebulous authority instead of to a King or a Duke means that somewhere out there is a committee that will decide. No different for a business hiring people or a scientist or artist applying for grants both have committees.

Leftism is an ideology that enhances insider power to take over committees by setting out rules of cooperation *and* one that justifies *everything* being run by committee. It's no surprise that its actual adherents are consummate bureaucrats - it's their ideology.

Poor Paglia bought their bullshit about in whose name you had to justify all actions instead of seeing through it as bullshit. You don't establish a worker's collective to benefit the workers - you do it to benefit the people who manipulate collective decision making.

Their ideology is designed to exploit that. End goal - manipulate who serves on the juries (their friends). To get there they use all the other methods that work for them in taking over committees of all kinds. Fear of a ruler lets them do this https://twitter.com/hpcel45/status/1335972012175593481 …

Absolute monarchy is a degenerate form of government demanded by or imposed upon demoralized slaves. Warrior cultures tend towards militias which select primus inter pares; they evolve adversarialism (jury of peers, duel) to minimize demand for tyrannical rule.

Absolute monarchy is impossible. In practice the king relies on bureaucrats who then set out to launder responsibility - wonderfully intoxicating to have power in the king's name and then to have no responsibility as a mere agent of the king. Kings delegate authority or die.

What do you call then, those systems where the Sultan can order anyone executed, confiscate any property he pleases?

I don't mean literally impossible - I mean unstable and dangerous.

Sure, mainly because successor monarchs don't/can't learn ins and outs of power levers that the original absolute monarch mastered.

The monarchist right, however, misses an important distinction: delegation is different from negotiated compromise. Caesarism, really is degenerate and bound to degenerate further (no matter how wise Ceasar is). Balance of powers is not just a prog lie.

Caesarism was necessary because of the breakdown of the old order. It's a reaction to a degenerated form - not degenerate in itself. Balance of power where the king can defeat any duke but not all the dukes at once is healthy but requires lots of virtue.
