Nah. Aristocracies do better long-term. Aristocrats and royals who inherit their wealth and position keep elected politicians, corporations, and celebrities in-check and remind them that they can never take total control of the country without having to fight them first. Aristocrats also help ensure that the land isn't being totally sold out to foreigners. I'd rather have the Duke of Marlborough buy property in Muskoka, rather than some factory owner from China.
Canada doesn't have an aristocracy, we have just have the Queen, so there is no real counter to the politicians, corporations, or celebrities. But in England, for example, if socialists ever get in power you can bet your ass the aristocrats are going to put an end to it. The socialist will be found dead the next morning. Aristocrats are also above politicians, corporations, and celebrities, they have wealth and land, they don't care what some politician says, or what a celebrity does.
