Err, that makes no sense.
I'm saying, monarch is backwards system, and majority of them suck.
You're saying "there are good ones too!"
Which I agree, I'm not saying they're all bad. But few good apples amongst crapton of bads does not make the whole concept good.
And 'm saying that monarchy isn't a backward system by default simply for being a monarchy. So yes, you're doing a sweeping generalization towards monarchy, which has been often mistakenly understood so narrowly. It doesn't have to be autocratic, religious, family/clan-centered, or even without terms limits ! Every single case of monarchy depends crucially on the specific condition they are in, and that applies with Arab Spring case.
