    The children of modern billionaires will almost certainly be just as terrible as their parents should they be allowed to inherit all of their parents' wealth. Should we kill the children of billionaires too by the same reasoning?

    Obviously in this case the royal succession/restoration of the monarchy argument, which I feel is the only good reason for killing the Romanov children, doesn't apply.

      The failchildren of billionaires will probably blow their family's fortune on lawyers to fight over money. The children of an absolute monarch inherit a nation filled with living people that they are allowed to treat like slaves. It's a hideously reactionary institution that needed to be ripped out root and stem.

        So you agree that the execution of the Romanov family was necessary in order to completely eradicate the institution of monarchy. That's my take -- it was necessary, and that's as far as we need to justify it.

        Correct me if I'm reading you wrong, but it seems like your take was that they, the children, born into circumstances outside of their control, actively deserved their fate through their own actions.
