You really think that? You think that economics is a script? There are countries without royalty that have ups and downs. There is no country that doesn't have ups and downs.
And before you go accusing an outsider of saying they are not needed, there are plenty in that country that think the same.
America has no royalty and we have had booms and depressions. You can do it without them if you want, you just don't want to.
They are merely a relic, living museum pieces and as tacky as any reality show.
Why does one family deserve to keep the gains of tyranny? Certainly they cannot be blamed for the past actions of their ancestors, but knowing that it was wrong, the right thing to do is get rid of that type of head of state and turn it into a government where there is only a president elected by the people.
As long as their is a "Queen or king" of anything, you still are selling a meme of dictatorship. If she is just a figurehead, then she is just superfluous.
They have been reduced to symbolism, sure. But the PM still has to go through the archaic display of kissing her ass. If she is just a person, which all humans are, then pluralism is ill defended by even the symbolic notion that ownership of a state is given to one family.
Only you can decide if you want it our not. I am simply saying you don't need it.
If they got cut off by the tax payers but got to keep what they earned so far and simply became citizens and all you had was a PM, they could still do what they are doing, much like Bill Gates and lots of rich people here in the states that are not royalty do all the time.
But to say any KING in human history was needed for evolution is false. Thinking you need a dictator doesn't mean they are always going to be good, and if people are capable of making babies without being royalty and capable of gaining wealth without being royalty, that is evidence you don't need them and there are plenty humans who do that all the time.
One family does not deserve to live on welfare at that level, and that is what ALL Royalty everywhere in the world does, even if that society supports them willingly.
