The British Monarchy: A Living Legacy of Conquest, Colonial Crimes, and Unequal Power

The British monarchy and its allied aristocratic elite are far from a benign symbol of tradition; they represent a continuation of a brutal and ongoing legacy of conquest, colonialism, and systemic crimes against humanity.

For centuries, this powerful family and their networks have been directly responsible for empire-building, slavery, piracy, and even state-sponsored drug trafficking - actions that devastated millions and reshaped the global order for their economic and political gain.

Since the Norman Conquest of 1066, the monarchy has embodied foreign domination, establishing a feudal system that suppressed native populations and concentrated immense wealth in the hands of a few.

This pattern continued across centuries with the British Empire’s vast colonial ventures in Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

These empires perpetuated mass suffering through forced labor, genocide, systemic violence, and economic plunder.

Britain was a leading slave-trading nation, and brutal conditions led to the deaths of countless enslaved Africans, especially in colonies like Jamaica.

Under monarchs like Queen Elizabeth II, colonial rule persisted through violent repression of independence movements, including atrocities during the Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya and the Malayan Emergency, where forced relocations, concentration camps, and chemical warfare were used with royal government sanction.

British colonial administrations engaged in famines, racial segregation, and widespread human rights abuses while profiting enormously from resource extraction and the subjugation of millions.

While no direct documentary evidence definitively proves all monarchs were personally aware of or authorized every atrocity, it is clear that British prime ministers and government - serving under the Crown - knew of, concealed, and orchestrated systemic violence.

The monarchy symbolically sanctioned these actions and materially benefited from empire-driven wealth, sustained by land and labor exploitation on a massive scale.

Today, the royal family continues to control vast holdings of land and wealth accrued through centuries of colonialist accumulation.

The Crown Estate manages about 615,000 acres, including prime urban and rural land, while the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall hold more tens of thousands of acres with lucrative economic activities often shielded by tax exemptions and lack of full public transparency.

This concentration of land ownership and economic power leaves the vast majority of Britons with limited or no access to these critical resources.

The British monarchy remains a preserved relic of feudal and colonial privilege, perpetuating structural inequalities tightly linked to its violent imperial past.

Far from being a neutral or ceremonial body, it stands at the center of ongoing debates about justice, reparations, and democratic ownership.

The people of Britain must recognize and confront this historical reality: their monarchy is rooted in foreign conquest and colonial crimes that continue to define social and economic disparities.

Reclaiming sovereignty and redressing centuries of injustice requires radical reform, transparency, and the dismantling of these entrenched systems of elite privilege.

This is not merely a critique of past abuses but an urgent call for reparative justice and transformative change to ensure the wealth and land amassed through historical oppression are justly shared among all people.

We must remove these parasitic elites and reclaim our land and sovereignty. The British monarchy is not a neutral or historic relic to be tolerated - it is a living embodiment of conquest, colonial oppression, and systemic inequality.

The vast estates and wealth they continue to control were stolen through violence and exploitation, and it is time for the British people to assert their rightful ownership, dismantle these entrenched systems of privilege, and restore justice and democracy to the land that belongs to all of us.
