I think we're asking the wrong question: democracy, monarchy, or another form of government. In everyday life, we don't choose whether to eat with a fork or a spoon; whether to travel by metro or by car; and so on. Any mathematician will advise us to use the most optimal option for each specific situation.

If we can alternate between a fork and a spoon, a subway and a car, then why can't we alternate between democracy and a monarchy? I see no rational reason to give up freedom of choice.

We shouldn't force ourselves into abstract monarchies or democracies. We must tailor the form of government to the specific situation and the specific leader. Javier Miley and the ruler of Dubai Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum are equally effective in different contexts.
