WHAT IS THIS?
A space to contest popular monarchist myths/narratives that rationalize their continued existence. We cannot have class consciousness in a population that identifies with royals and even loves their subjugation by a hereditary monarchy. Ceremonial or not, they need to go.
WHO ARE WE?
This is not a subreddit limited to the UK or the Commonwealth Realm countries. Monarchism is a form of government that plagues 43 countries, with 26 monarchs.
We want a republic to replace every monarchy, and we are called republicans.

RULES FOR R/ABOLISHTHEMONARCHY
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
No Calls for Harm or Violence
Calls for the harm of other users or people will not be tolerated, and is against Reddit's Site-wide Rules. No wishing death on anyone, either.
Don't Advocate for the Monarchy in Bad Faith
Although good-faith questions and debates are welcome, spamming monarchist talking points in bad faith, i.e. without being willing to listen to their criticism is not welcome.
2.1 Don't defend your favourite royal, like Prince Harry or Duchess Meghan. 2.2 Don't defend past, present, or future imperialism. 2.3 Spamming monarchist slogans like "Long live X" or "God Save X" will earn you a ban. 2.4 No bootlicking. No praise of the police or of the military, especially not of the imperial core.
No Personal Attacks or Bigotry. Leftist Unity.
3.1 Bigotry, Hate Speech, Racism, or Personal Attacks are not welcome. Please read Reddit's Site-wide Rules. 3.2 No flamebaiting and avoid attacking the sub, as a whole. 3.3 This is also a broadly socialist sub. Don't use our sub to harass other leftists or complain about tendencies, like complaining about tankies or anarkiddies. Right-wing and centrist liberals are welcome here, but not covered under this rule.
Don't Brigade/Participate in Linked Monarchist Opinions
This is also against Reddit's Site-wide Rules and leads to communities being banned by Reddit. Please use screenshots instead of crossposting monarchist discussions. Also, edit out any usernames or subreddit names.
Don't Link to Bad Websites. Use Archived Versions
Avoid linking directly to tabloids or hateful websites. Please use the Wayback Machine or Archive.is
No conspiracy theories or misinformation
6.1 Try your best to avoid spreading misinformation about the royals. For example, common conspiracy theories about the Commonwealth royals include "abducted Canadian children," "Harry's actual dad," "Diana's murder." 6.2 Avoid spreading conspiracy theories, like about Covid19, climate change skepticism, or bigoted conspiracies about minorities. 6.3 Avoid royal celebrity gossip, like gossip about their personal relationships, unless there is abuse involved or is relevant to republicanism.

What alternate would you actually settle for.
I know this completely goes against the “abolish” part of this sub and I’d ideally prefer no monarchy at all but actually ending the monarchy in my lifetime isn’t going to happen. Would a more realistic scenario be let them keep their titles but remove public funds and powers. Monarchy in name only?

Thanks BBC News, without your notifications how would I know that a child has survived 9 rotations around the sun and their mother took a photo of them (and managed to refrain from editing it before posting).

Government Response to Petition calling on Canada to abolish the monarchy
We got a response from Ottawa its most disappointing but not unexpected. At this rate I would think Canada has a higher chance of joining the USA. https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-4391

What would you guys think about have Larry the chief mouser as king?
Let's throw Charlie off the throne and have Larry be our king instead. He has outlasted a few PMs at this point so we know he has more credibility than our last few leaders. Also he wouldn't take up much of the taxpayer's money so it wouldn't be that much of an investment and everyone in Britain could get behind Larry as our king instead.

How ironic that the Royal Society (science) should report that inbreeding increases the chances of the types of cancer that Chuck has.

After Brenda and Brian, who's next?
As many of you know, since the founding of the magazine Private Eye, they have been jokingly referring to Elizabeth as Brenda, Philip as Keith and Charles as Brian.
Considering they informally stopped and the term is frequently used, what would you you for the current crop? Such as Camilla, William, Kate etc.

Looks Like Ann is coming to Canada
I hope British Columbians show no respect to the monarchs but 28% is still a few people sadly. We need to have protests in Canada for these visits make our presence known we are the majority.
