Absolutely benevolent monarchies with a perfect and immortal ruler are theoretically the ideal government. Unfortunately god is in heaven, not on earth. Without that condition, even the benevolent part is just theoretical fantasy - but even if a good and just person did rise to power in that system (which is extremely unlikely with the most generous interpretation), it is one dead body away from being another authoritarian hellscape.

This is why leftism doesn't work. Leftist political ideologies aren't based on observations of human behavior. They're religions based around worship of men instead of gods, designed in such a way that they are ideal for sociopaths to use as a stepladder to power.

A Kaiser would be an improvement over the current mess.
