The EU was based off the theories of Kalergi, who hated Europeans with a passion. The goal wasn’t success.

"indeed, being the heir to the eastern Roman empire"

This one confuses me. Don't you mean the Western Roman Empire since Austria-Hungary is the successor to the HRE?

The idea of a United European Empire based local and regional autonomy and ethnocultural identity is a key theme of the French/European New Right/ Identitarian movement. They see it as a way that we, as Europeans, could break free from American hegemony and follow our own destiny in accordance with our own way of being and living in the world.

I’m open to Monarchy but the big question is: how do you refound one?

The answer should be obvious. A popular leader, somebody like Nayyib Burkele, declares himself Monarch with popular support, and designs a far more ‘formalist’ constitution where the real distribution of power is clear.

But most Monarchists are these weird Catholic legitimists who go on about ‘divine right’ and the ‘rightful heir’, and always tie it to Catholicism, which is just dumb.

Monarchy requires religion really. If you install a monarchy without those sort of features it isn't a monarchy

Well that’s just dumb.

Hereditary monarchy’s were established first through force. Only way a Monarchy comes back is by a dictator creating a dynasty.
