So political propaganda rarely works? Every political action is sold as beneficial to the many, but how many of them actually are? I feel like political dynamics are rather a bit less straightforward than you're portraying.
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoI have never successfully seen, or even seen attempted, a sell that the republic be superseded by a monarch, and the orator be put on the throne with special privileges. Have you ever seen a republic successfully transition to a monarchy by will of the people because someone sold it as an idea in the people's interests?

You can probably squint at the Cambodian restoration and describe it that way. While not a democratic republic, my understanding of the restoration of the Spanish monarchy to replace Franco’s fascist republic is that it essentially meets that description anyway.
