    I assume, that the word "#republican" has different meanings depending on context.

    "#Republicanism is a political ideology that promotes the republican system of #government, in which #sovereignty resides in the people and their elected representatives, as opposed to hereditary #monarchy or other forms of absolute personal power."

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic

    It's not related to any specific political party of the same name 😉

  6. The three most interesting paragraphs from this story, IMO:

    "The Stay Free Alberta petitioners say they have collected 301,620 signatures, well over the 178,000 threshold that can prompt the province to consider a referendum question. "

    "Gordon McClure, chief electoral officer, has said that [the verification] process will now also include a search for fake names seeded in copies of voter lists — designed as a mechanism to prove if improper use of the electoral list has been used.”

    "A pro-unity ‘Forever Canadian’ petition had 404,293 signatures verified in December. That citizen initiative wants the government to consider making it official policy for Alberta to remain a part of Canada.”

  11. Is #Trump REALLY claiming that #Jesus image was intended to show him as a "doctor"? Who is he trying to kid? He's upset #Catholics, by verbally attacking Pope Leo XIV, & his #blasphemy & #idolatry risk his support from all genuine #Christians. Did he ever have ANY support from genuine Christians, as HE isn't #Christian, #MAGA #Republicanism isn't, & "white Christian #nationalism" isn't?

  16. The truth is that Ugandans and Africans and perhaps also a big part of the people all over the world in general cannot conceive of the idea rule by the people through the people.

    They cannot imagine that the nation is not a single persons property.
    That in a nation everyone is called to act like a sovereign of their own matters.

    The state is supposed to be open to all people to gain office

  18. You pledge allegiance to the flag and the REPUBLIC for which it stands.

    Not monarchy.

  19. @cjpaloma

    To be a purposeful—and intentional- pedant, I take this stance on lower-case “r” #republicanism

  20. newstatesman.com/politics/2025

    A forceful anti-monarchichal article that is too thoughtful and well-informed to be dismissed as polemic.

    Whatever one's feelings about the crown as a political institution, one must admit that the UK has reached the point of Something Must Be Done, whether that something be a major reform or outright republican abolition.

  21. @melissjpeltier.bsky.social

    The institution of #republicanism was designed to literally mitigate against all of it.

    If we can keep it.

  22. Lower-case “r” #republicanism is inherently “leftist”, and the dogmatic so-called originalists hate, hate, HATE that.

    The creepy weirdos have been trying to undermine republics since Caesar and Catiline.

    Look it up.

    #history

  23. There is a #cult of #punk #republicanism on the #fediverse.

    A lot of folks will get stuck on the proper noun.

    But, the reality of lived experience and #history is that #WordsMeanThings

  24. @thenewsdesk @top-stories-in-politics-thenewsdesk

    These are the bonds of #republicanism and the Union which the creepy weirdos hate-admire deeply.

  25. Again, the cruelties of the people are turned against him who is fears will encroach upon the common rights, but the cruelties of the Prince against those who he fears will assert those rights. - Niccolo Machiavelli #philosophy #republicanism #machiavelli

    #republicanism was born even more recently than #democracy

    They are just ideas.

    Imperfect people bring them to life.

  27. I’m proud to be an #American, who values the #FirstPrinciples of #republicanism, specifically because there are creepy weirdos out there who find the virtuous ideals of a Republic deeply shameful and threatening.

    I am so here for it.

  28. The objectives of Creepy Weirdos is to disincentivize the fabric of the Union in the first place.

    I’m hopeful that We the People™ of the Republic keep applauding for first-principles of the Constitution.

    It’s that or wear gas masks to street actions.

  33. "Bruno Leipold’s Citizen Marx presents a compelling, deeply researched, and elegantly written analysis of Marx’s relationship to republicanism, and it will no doubt become an important point of reference in future discussions about Marx’s thought.Based on fresh, close readings of Marx—including canonical texts such as The Communist Manifesto and Capital, as well as lesser-known articles and notebooks—and discussions of an impressive body of scholarship, Leipold reconstructs the intellectual trajectory that led Marx to articulate a powerful republican communism as the alternative to the despotic power of capital.

    In the mid-nineteenth century, to be a “republican” meant fighting for a free and democratic political system based on universal (male) suffrage, in opposition to defenders of absolute monarchy and liberalist defenders of constitutional monarchy. The central political value of republicanism is freedom, understood in a purely negative sense as nondomination, or, the absence of arbitrary power—that is, not just the absence of actual interference, but of the very possibility of interference. Leipold’s core claim is that Marx’s critique of capitalism, as well as his thoughts on revolutionary strategy and the communist future, developed through a sustained dialogue with republican currents.
    (...)
    In this way, Marx and Engels occupied a unique and powerful position in the radical political landscape of the mid-nineteenth century: a republican communism grounded in an unshakable belief in the proletariat’s capacity for self-emancipation, against both antipolitical communists and anticommunist republicans (and, needless to say, defenders of monarchy)."

  34. If the #American revolution was the first, the #CivilWar its second, and the #CivilRights the third transgenerational founding, We the People™ are overdue a rekindling of #republicanism, the humanities, pro-social #history, and #LessonsLearned.
