If a king decrees it inside an absolute monarchy, it's not a crime. That's literally how absolute monarchies work--the monarch has absolute and unaccountable power.
I disagree because positivism is not the smartest legal theory in my view. We all know Godwin's law, but nazi crimes is probably the best example of how something done by people with absolute power was considered and persecuted as a crime.
Flip or not, this is gross.
Calling a murder not a crime because a king decreed it is mind boggling. You shouldnt conflate "illegal" with "criminal".
