Mishima's coup d'etat attempt

[Anonymous No.16747269]

Intellectuals of the world wide web, in your educated opinion, do you think it is possible nowadays and in one of the big nations such as the usa/russia/germany/france/whatever for 1 man (with his followers) to not only make a decent coup d'etat attempt but on top of that also succeed and establish a monarchy?
Let's say we have a guy who has all the traits required - he is charismatic, smart, fearless, etc - and dedicates his entire life (or almost his entire life) into accomplishing this one goal. Provided we have a guy like this; what do you think, realistically speaking?
Is it possible for this 1 man to join the military with nothing to start out with, rise in the ranks, inspire the other soldiers, amass a following, and ultimately overthrow the government and restore monarchism in his country?
Let us discuss.

Im not talking about fascists. I focused more on monarchists but it doesnt have to be strictly about monarchists.

Basically impossible. Social conditions are far more important than the personal qualities of the person attempting the coup. There must be widespread belief that the democracy is fully corrupted and irredeemable, and economic conditions must be bad enough that people don't immediately want to preserve the status quo.

Only if he had strong popular backing and support of some of the military.

the dull thud of the guillotine blade, 21 january 1793, heralded not only the death of poor louis, but the death of monarchy as a legitimate form of government. an edifice built on metaphysical superiority, endowed by divine right, dressed in pomp and ceremony, and guarded by deliberate acts of destitution and violence, was irreversibly shattered when god's minister, dragged muddy and screaming, stripped of his finery and his power, onto the bloody scaffolding, was dispatched as a mere petty criminal. he was born a prince, crowned a king, but died a man like any other, following a long line of unexceptional low-lives and dissidents before him. the revolution may have already stripped him of his crown, his imprisonment of his dignity, the march of progress of his governmental foundations, but it was the slow rolling of his severed head across the etched and worn boards that finally burst the illusion of any innate superiority or divine right. like lightening in the night, the sword and scepter were broken, and faded just as fast, leaving only the low thunder of its death knell to echo through time. robespierre was born and died a man like any other, but the revolution he helped realize lived beyond him, and spread across europe and indeed the world. the fire he lit is still burning, while the coals or monarchy only flicker with life in the backwater shitholes of south-east asia and the middle east, or elsewhere kings and queens sit with clipped wings in their gilded cages, reduced to a pretty bauble for the amusement of the people. it's only modern adherents argue on the prudential benefits of the crown, but in doing so lose the true foundation of monarchical legitimacy. a tradition without lineage, speaking with the voice that killed it, monarchy is a modern impossibility; and no amount of larping on the internet will bring it back.

It's not because you put Mishima's name that's your thread is /lit/ related. Faggot.

Please use shorter sentences or learn to use semi-colons. This is painful to read. Beyond the flowery prose, there's not really much substance in your argument.
