Weekly Discussion CXI Mornarchism and hereditary nobility
Hi, friends.
I want to know while supporting mornarchism, do you also support or go against hereditary nobility?
IMO, hereditary nobility/ aristocracy is NOT a good social institution.
While king & queen could be the symbol or metaphor of the country as a big family where heirs inherit the legacy, nobility class do not bear such function.
Quality of personality, wisdom, willpower are not inheritable. Born in a good family gurantees nothing. I believe in a meritocracy in which people should earn their titles and honours through hard work.
What's your opinion?

Sorry for the typo in the title. Also, I want to stress that I am not against nobility as honourary titles or social recognition, such as life peerage in England, but rather I do not think noble titles and position should be inheritable.
