You speak from ignorance. His family are elevated because of his passion, his honor, and other attributes society values. His caste has nothing to do with. Do you forget that the anarcho-monarchist monarch exists within an anarchist paradigm? There is nothing to institute and perpetuate a caste system. Period.

His passion?
His family is elevated because of his passion? For what? I hardly suspect that everyone wants to be what their parents were. Besides, he wasn't born when the caste system was initiated. His honour? What the fuck does that even mean? He's just been raised to do one thing and one thing alone.
And if there is nothing to institute and perpetuate a caste system, then why is that family in its own higher caste?

So anyone can become the monarch? It's not an occupation limited only to a "pure" type of people?

Of course.

So either a monarch is not elevated to such a position merely because of idiotic things like his family's "passion" or "honour" or you're lying.

No, not power. Governmental structure. Hierarchy isn't anti-anarchy, despite the bleating from left anarchist, when it is freely chosen. For instance, when my fiance defers to me about the movie we will watch, I am being both anarchic and hierarchical. Why? Because she grants me the authority to decide for her without the coercion of the State apparatus to enforce her equality... you know, just in case that deferment drives me mad with power and I threaten her safety.... which is fucking ridiculous.

It is anarcho-monarchy because the name recognizes the truth of anarchy and the truth of appropriate governmental structure within the State.


From Wikipedia:

"Anarchism is a political philosophy that advocates stateless societies based on non-hierarchical free associations. Anarchism holds the state to be undesirable, unnecessary, or harmful. While anti-statism is central, some argue that anarchism entails opposing authority or hierarchical organization in the conduct of human relations, including, but not limited to, the state system."

Anarchy comes in many forms.

Including the rejection of hierarchies.

Figure I'd point that out.

Correct on both parts... in a way. Anarcho-monarchism doesn't describe the monarch of an anarchy. It describes the ideal social existence for a human being- either anarchy or monarchy. From there, it expands.

This is why I changed my identifier to libertarian monarchism.Instead of asking questions folks just tilt at windmills.

I can hardly say that I agree with such a system... but that's just me. I believe a Monarchy should be hereditary.
