Within the quagmire of conservatism in Xsampa, one consistent pillars is the Gongma Nyamnyid Party (GNP), and it's variant of conservative socialism. Yet within it lay a plethora of factions. Ranging from Traditionalist Socialists, Left Wing Nationalists, Conservative Socialists, and most curiously, Social Monarchists. But Comrade, how is monarchism even compatible with Participatory Metzism? Isn't monarchism an inherently right wing, reactionary ideology? Normally, yes, most forms of monarchism are. Notice how we said most. Technically, the social monarchists and what they advocate for, is completely legal, and within constitutional boundaries. So, let's explore what Social Monarchism is.

First and foremost, it advocates for a strict commitment to socialism as it exists. No uprooting market socialism or Participatory Metzism. However, it does call for the abolishment of the Custodian of the Democratic Republic and replacing it with a monarch. Curiously, they don't specific which, opening the door to either the exiled royal family (which remains in exile in Yingdala), or an entirely new royal family. They argue that this royal family has a commitment to preserving the values of socialism, and safeguarding it. They argue that the Royal Family must commit itself to serving the Proletariat and the Revolution. Which practically means no fancy villas, no fancy mansions (beyond what is expected of a Royal Palace), and no authority to usurp PAX or threaten socialism. While the Social Monarchist camp is split on whether the monarchy should be constitutional or ceremonial (to essentially act as a mascot), one thing they do agree on is, the Premier and PAX would retain most if not all executive authority. Interestingly, Social Monarchists outright reject any and all forms of nobility in favour of simply the monarch. Some have even argued for looking to the Serene Phodang of Utembo (Xsampa) from before unification for inspiration but this remains controversial due to the authoritarian theocratic nature of the Serene Phodang.

While Social Monarchists do remains a minority in the GNP, they are certainly unique and notable in their interpretation of socialism. While it's unlikely they'll ever govern much if at all, they do contribute to making the Xsampan political scene more unique and diverse. And that's always a win, isn't it?
