    Did I hear right. Is he going to marry Miss Marple?

    He’s not getting married to Miss Marple, silly begger. He’s getting married to Angela Merkle.

    Chomsky drops in my estimation with his comments on Markle and royalty since Harry's betrothed read his bookhttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/dec/01/meghan-markle-could-shake-up-monarchy-says-noam-chomskyBut the article accrately describes Chomsky as a "one-time anarchist"Markle is planning to take British citizenship but i wonder if she will have to go through the maze of bureaucracy that others do

    A just world will not only be one where outmoded institutions like the monarchy no longer exist, no matter how glamorous, charming, and well-meaning today’s royals are. It’s also one where we won’t need any more celebrity humanitarians.

    But the opposite is not true, i.e a world without monarchies would not necessarily be a "just" world. Look at France which abolished it. Look at the USA which never had one or, rather, has an elected one since the US Constitution is a democratised version of the 18th century UK constitution with the Senate as an elected House of Lords and the President as an elected King (and Trump doing a good impression of George III). A "just" world would be a world without states and heads of state, whether hereditary or elected.
