Entry: Big Brother in Brussels Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/big_brother_in_brussels#6759 Post contents: The Vlaams Belang may be right about many things, but as a monarchist I am disgusted by their republicanism. Why the automatic assumption that an independent Flanders would necessarily be a republic? I could tolerate the dissolution of the Kingdom of Belgium if all the countries that were monarchies before 1830 would go back to being monarchies, but sadly that doesn't seem likely, and it would be totally unacceptable for the number of reigning hereditary sovereigns in Europe (currently a meager ten) to sink into the single digits as it did briefly from 1974 to 1975. Europe is not America, and its authentic conservative/right-wing tradition is monarchist, not republican. Any European who would be a genuine man of the Right must look to Altar and Throne, not to Capitalism and Liberty as Paul Belien et al do. Outside of Switzerland, any European "conservatism" or "rightism" that is not monarchist is worthless to me. Sent at: 2008 09 05
