Not treason
Why? clearly "advocate a dismantling of the government". I say so myself.

Those guys burning the flag? They almost never say that. Generally they are just thoroughly upset with some gov't policy. They often say that the gov't is acting undemocratically and they want to return it to the right path. And they are not violent or advocating violence. Anything but treason.

And I say I want to change it to a monarchy.

So why should I be exempt and they guilty?

The answer is that neither is treason. But are examples of legal, constitutional exercise of free speech.
