"No Kings" Protest in the US: Maybe We Need More and Better Kings

Left-wing activists in the US seem to tremble at the sight of strong leadership — and that may be their greatest weakness. In the US, movements like “No Kings” seem to fill the streets, denouncing "authority". Yet perhaps the problem in Western countries is not too much power, but too little conviction. In a world defined by ruthless competition, hesitation is no virtue. Maybe the West does not need fewer kings — maybe it needs more of them and better ones.

History reminds us that civilizations rise not through committees, but through visionaries — leaders capable of uniting, inspiring, and defending their people. The enemies of the West are not confused about hierarchy or purpose: they act, while we endlessly debate. The result is paralysis. Meanwhile, rivals consolidate influence through discipline, ambition, and centralized direction.

A free world cannot survive without order; prosperity cannot exist without responsibility. The West must rediscover leadership rooted in principle — leaders who defend the market economy, individual initiative, and the rule of law. Leaders who understand that globalization is not to be feared, but steered in detail and without compromise. Leaders who protect liberty by maintaining strength, not by apologizing for it.

For too long, Western societies have confused strength with oppression, and freedom with chaos. The result is decline — moral, political, and strategic. The time has come to replace indecision with vision, bureaucratic drift with direction, and empty slogans with action.

The world does not wait for hesitant democracies. The West must once again produce leaders — kings, if you will — who dare to guide rather than follow and who defend rather than doubt.
