Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

Who would be
  A mermaid fair,
    Singing alone,
      Combing her hair
        Under the sea,
          In a golden curl
            With a comb of pearl,
              On a throne?
                I would be a mermaid fair;
                  I would sing to myself the whole of the day;
                    With a comb of pearl I would comb my hair;
                      And still as I comb I would sing and say,
                        "Who is it loves me? who loves not me?"

      Lord Alfred Tennyson

There was an Old Man with a owl,
Who continued to bother and howl;
He sat on a rail
And imbibed bitter ale,
Which refreshed that Old Man and his owl.

I think it says volumes about humanity when most of us actually believe that we deserve eternal bliss in heaven. If I ran heaven that's exactly kind of egotistical person I would want to keep out.  unknown.

At every instant and from every side, resounds the call of Love:
We are going to sky, who wants to come with us?
We have gone to Heaven, we have been the friends of the angels,
And now we will go back there, for there is our country.
