It's an elective monarchy like Poland, where the monarch is chosen by the lords.

It would be hilarious to see Liz Bruenig as a philosopher-queen ruling under the constitution of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, where everybody is a lord and any lord can veto legislation.

It's hilarious, but not helpful. I can't help but laugh at people who turn to religious institutions to be a a sole serious challenge to Capital. It is everyone's God now, whether they know it or not. It now determines the rhythm of life, not the old calendar of Feast Days, and that rhythm is erratic so as to provide a flexible labor force to serve Its needs. It took Liz Bruenig's God, an invention of men living under prior modes of production, and put Him on the tshirts that are now sold in the gift shop of my parish's church. It is so powerful that It can transfigure other deities into secular commodities that can be bought and sold in large quantities.
