Why communism is better than monarchy

Honestly, monarchism has got to be the stupidest ideology I've ever heard that still has somewhat of a mainstream following, with the only ideologies crazier than it being fringy ones like posadism and anarcho-fascism. Absolute monarchies are obviously awful because they’re repressive but constitutional ones are also absurd if for different reasons. A governmental system where someone not only becomes head of state but also inherits an unnecessarily obscene amount of wealth straight outta taxes from individuals who actually work hard while they do nothing productive themselves, is immune from prosecution no matter the crime, even child molesting, while others are expected, either socially or legally to worship them, all because they just so happened to be born in the right family, sounds like the plot of a badly written self insert fanfic by a narcissist. Monarchists are also particularly obnoxious people for some reason. I’ve seen many openly support racism, sexism, colonial apologia, authoritarianism, and wealth inequality on levels I've only seen elsewhere on 4chan yet are surprisingly thriving on reddit. They’re also hostile towards anti-monarchists, sometimes even wishing death. They also simp for their kings in a way that’s embarrassing. Their arguments are also next level incoherence. They defend such institutions by throwing vague words like “tradition,” “stability,” and “spirit”. Unfalsifiable crap that only exists as an illusion. Literally strip all the pretty aesthetics and you’re left with a state-sanctioned celebrity. other bullshit arguments:
Tourism: one of the most widely debunked. I can’t believe there are people who still think this. You think visitors spend thousands just to see a bunch of puppets or for the castles, art, jewelry, monuments, and gardens? Explain why Versailles is way more popular than Buckingham.
Order: yeah, the same way dictators are known for maintaining “order.” not worth the rights i have to give up along the way though. Also, how can someone who is constitutionally blocked from participating in governmental affairs even able to keep everything in place since by default they can’t do anything?
Apoliticality: my brother in christ, monarch is a governmental title! It’s political by default. Also, the whole monarchy vs republic debate is political.
Most prospering nations are constitutional monarchies: correlation ≠ causation. Again, constitutional monarchs do jack shit. But taking credit for all good that happens to their countries is in line with the monarchist experience of uncritical praise, isn’t? Let’s ignore the parliamentary systems that are actually getting work done. There are also plenty of republics faring just as well. Take the whole eastern europe for instance. People do always forget about the east though. :-(
It prevents fascism: the only instance I can think is juan carlos l dismantling Franco's regime. Otherwise, you have vittorio emmanuele lll appointing mussolini (yes he also played a role in ousting him but at that’s a wash), hirohito being part of imperial japan’s system, zog l collaborating with italy only for albania to be invaded, greece’s monarchy getting awfully cozy with metaxas, bulgaria establishing its own totalitarian regime, and belgium, netherlands, luxembourg, norway, romania, and yugoslavia unable to stop the axis invasion. But also, absolute monarchies actually share many core fascist principles: authoritarianism, militarism, imperialism (literally from “empire”), hierarchy and sometimes xenophobia, atrocity denial, rejection of enlightenment values like reason in favor of myth, and calling for a restructuring of modern society to match an idealized past. All monarchies through history combined have been responsible for even more deaths than communism.

Communism ftw.
