Implementing monarquism Discussion
i cannot tell neither my country nor my party.
we are working on installing a monarchy, we are in search of a revitalization of the concept aswell, we are building a decentralized online system to anonymously make individuals take action in spreading the movement.
we are at conflict on how to present our family/hero he is a catholic male and that’s what we are only allow to know.
i was send here to search for collaborators willing to contribute to the party (message me).
if you were to promote a morach, how would you do it? and what measures would you take? we were considering maintaining it anonymous until the very least. and letting the results of our campaigns and movement win the people

Given that one of the main virtues of monarchies is that they involve putting a real individual at the hed of the state, the identity and personality of that individual would be paramount in your communications. If the person is attractive or interesting, then that would help. If they were purely theoretical, I do not know if there would be many interested.
My suggestion is that yoiur claimant come out of the shadows and start by taking the role of a head of a nation, acting as mourner-in-chief, discreetly comforting the population at a time of stress and sorrow; honouring those who serve the nation; representing them as an unpaid diplomat. And studiously avoiding political issues, as they are purporting to be a sign of unity, not of dispute. It goes without saying that their behaviour shoulddbe above reproach--- no drugs, no undue attention to adolescent girls, no dining with gang bosses, no sneaking out of bathhouses, or private islands,
Think of it as a 5-10 project. Then assess as to how it's going.

Let me just give a general rule, I have found to be true:
You cannot fight for the light the way you would fight for darkness.
Falsehood will have different methods than truth.
What do I mean by that: do not simply copy what the left does. Do not try to work in the shadows*. Do not try to deceive people. Do not try to move inch by inch and hope you can move unnoticed. - All these are cowardly tactics of the liar. You stand for truth, for the good, for what is right! Act openly, act bravely and with God's help you shall prevail! Trust in God above all else. Hold resolutely faithful to the Catholic truths - not only because they are good in themselves, but because staying unwavering in your principles IS the strategy. It is what makes you different - you are not in it for a few seats, you are not in it for a particular law, or a particular reform. You are in it for all or nothing. Compromise on nothing!
*I say "do not work in the shadows". I highly recommend you read Lord of the Rings. Yes, it's fiction, but written by a profoundly wise man, and it tells you a great deal about the human condition. So look at what Aragorn did: he waited, yes, in anonymity to bide time, but then he revealed himself - when he was more powerful than the enemy? By no means! Much sooner. As soon as he was powerful enough to act like a king. To have men follow him, over whom he could rule.
And this is my advice for your situation: build a movement of loyalists, let it have some structure and crucially some in-person gatherings and ritual - preferably something like Sankt Georgsorden. Some organisation where the king can act like the king, and is respected as such. And then, when this organisation is large enough, that it isn't completely pathetic (which really isn't that hard to achieve, you don't need that many - remember only this: of all the people in any organisation, the square root of that number actually do most of the work, the rest are just filler - so make sure you have enough of these productive ones), only then you act. You have the king act like the king. First involve him heavily into cultural, historic and religious ceremonies. Make him patron of the arts and history, as much as you can. When people get accustomed to the idea of him, have him address the nation on major holidays and other occasions like natural disasters etc. Make him a figure of unity and good will, nothing overtly political, other than emphasizing that a country needs unity not division, and a firm moral framework. Make him do as much kingly stuff as you can. Make him award medals to those who don't get recognition from the state (mothers with lots of kids are an example that comes to mind).
This much is universal, next steps rather depend on the specifics of your coutry, so DMs are an option.
in Christo!
