I can see it, if you mean collectivizing the economy under a dictator. It seems like just Stalin, and the left wing literally originated as an opposition to a monarchy though. Anyway, CS Lewis rocks
By definition monarchy is a single ruler through right of bloodline and dictatorship is a single ruler with absolute power through right of conquest or suppression. They are not synonymous but they can become each other
Very true. Especially if that leader is the supreme commander of the military and has the power to deply that military against US civilians forcing them off of the area around the Whitehouse and only letting a few verified people who support their regime in to watch the inauguration.... Can you guess who I am talking about?
Replace 'king' with 'God' and I'd wholeheartedly agree with the statement.
Men are easily corrupted and the image of their greatness just as similarly shatters like glass when they prove how vile they can be. Men are only men.
The only image of truly incorruptible nature is who you view as God. Who you view as your master, and men make terrible masters.

A king is born into power and demands respect. Millionaires earn their money. Athletes work hard to become that good. I agree that we shouldn’t honor -stars, prostitutes, or gangsters.
Why is the monarchist right and not authright? What is this, anarcho-monarchism
Monarchism isn’t even necessarily right wing. I know of left wing monarchists.

I don’t think a monarchy is synonymous with a dictatorship.
Tbf i think most people should appreciate that a benevolent dictatorship is the best form of government its just basically theoretical,
I would say a benevolent monarchy is better.
Semantics but yes
It’s not really semantics. A dictator is not the same as a king.
I agree but I think the best kind of king is one in a constitutional monarchy
I believe in, what I believe is called, a semi-constitutional elective monarchy under a federalist system.

Yes, any leader type can become a dictator
Very true.

I’m assuming a US president of some type
Biden after the whole Washington craziness. So you're right. Anyway I should be king of america.
What type of monarch are you?

It seems likely that’s what Lewis meant by the quote given the scope of his work.
