Is it widely agreed that the best form of government is an enlightened monarchy where the king makes decisions based on the peoples needs, which are listed and compiled at a national assembly every two years?

King can be a fuck wit and we would be stuck with someone who is insane for 50ish years.

Monarchy is not that good tbh.

I would say that there is nothing better than a good king, and nothing worse than a bad king.
To reach full potential and max efficiency of a system you should have the best men in positions of power (a perfect meritocracy) and give the best man all the power.
But if you have a republic or something, this can be a good conservative method to set up a strong nation that will last due to having some simple advantages over others (like being white) rather than having a better hierarchical system.
Rome's republic was unwieldy, and it was meant to be unwieldy, they preferred that to giving one man all the power.
The Fate of Empires by John Glubb which is available on /pdfs/ and is definitely one for the Holla Forums essential book list (only about 30 pages long). In in, Glubb explains that Empires last only 250 years give or take, or 10 generations. Then they become weak due their own decadence and are overtaken or just collapse.
He breaks the the era of Rome into the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, which he explains is debatable, but with this, he gets his 250 years theory.
Also of note is this passage on political ideology.
the ideology of our internal politics. The
Press and public media in the U.S.A. and
Britain pour incessant scorn on any country
the political institutions of which differ in
any manner from our own idea of
democracy. It is, therefore, interesting to
note that the life-expectation of a great
nation does not appear to be in any way
affected by the nature of its institutions.
Past empires show almost every possible
variation of political system, but all go
through the same procedure from the Age of
Pioneers through Conquest, Commerce,
Affluence to decline and collapse.

Theoretical System of Governance
Give public widescale IQ tests.
Randomly select 1000 anons who score over 120.
Tell them to use the internet for 4 years:
Then they must select the best representatives for government.
Don't tell them what system to use.
Let them use the internet, to decide what to do, and who to pick.

Why don't they just do that with Holla Forums user..?

IQ is a measure of nothing. It doesn't measure wisdom, actual knowledge, strength of spirit and goodness of soul. Only thing it measures is the speed of autistic sperging out.
You'd like a rational meritocracy instated. That's fedora tier. A citilization can't be rational, it must be romantic and meritocracy is as possible as communism.
You need a strong aristocracy, which isn't exposed to lots of change. Only a fortress can stop outside influences to ruin its essence. Modern problem is that we don't have a ready aristocracy anymore. It's hard to determine if old families are still good or not and whether they carry the divine spark still.
Even if the natural state of mankind, Monarchy is far away and won't be a prevalent belief on Holla Forums because the board it's made of too many cucked "muh freedoms" Americans and it requires understanding of divine, not ma frog lmao. Besides it can't be petitioned for by activists like recent new users that came because of Trump.
