It was my privilege to be able to listen some British people talking
about their queen during her visit to Paris and Normandy for the D-day Celebration on June 6th, 2014.
After hearing them talking
about how much they love their queen and how happy they are to be
able to see a glimpse of her in Paris, I could not stop and think about
our own king. Both British and us are all united with this kind of the
head of the State. People feel a part of their country because of the love for their monarch. This is something that
liberalism and democracy cannot replicate. In my opinion, the thing that
hold American people together is the American dream, a kind of ideology
or mythology that everyone can rise from rack to rich while the British
people are hold together by the love for their queen.
This is an evidence to how the constitutional monarchy system is working even today, in contrast to what I learned about the decline in monarchy in France during the French Revolution in 1789 and Russia during Russian revolution in 1918. The decline of monarchy or any type of state often starts from any financial crisis or economic meltdown. Once people lost their jobs and sold their house, they started blaming government for not doing their job properly and the need for other type of state become necessary. But, is it the state false that the financial crisis starts? Or is it our own false? but instead of accepting the truth, we start to blame the state.

Another possible example that we
might be able to witness is the financial crisis that might occur in
China from its credit debt problem. If the crisis
starts, it might to not be local officials who loaned these money to fall, but the great almighty communist party since Chinese people will blame the political system, especially young people who are
consuming more and more global media. However, this might not be a problem
if the Chinese government did not introduce capitalism to this country 30
years ago. So, people might be correct to blame the government for this crisis.
On the other hand, it could be capitalism and
liberalism false, and once China introduce this system the spark of the crisis is started. Capitalism destroys our morality and replace them
with selfish interest and profit mind. If this is the case, why no one ever
questions the existence of capitalism and liberalism? This may be a time for us to create a new sustainable system that has a potential to solve
these problems instead of relying on the United State's model just
because they won the World War Two with the invention of radar and the
nuclear bomb.
What kind of political system do you think will be suitable for the world in the next fifty years when advanced technology makes all conventions that we have previously obsolete?
