When did republicanism change from

@bijouxbroussard from my understanding of the meaning of republicanism, it sound's close to socialism

@Guitarman123 That was never its définition here, even when it had more progressive members.

@bijouxbroussard mean more in the sense where a democratic head of state was voted in to serve the people

@Guitarman123 There’s this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republicanism

@bijouxbroussard Res publica which as that post states is latin for public thing

@Guitarman123 Right, but there are at least two issues:
What the term means and its history in the world.
Its history as a political party in the United States, which has been a shorter period of time, but complicated.

@bijouxbroussard during the French revolution. Afterwards as supported by people like percy shelley and karl marx, a Republican meant to abolish the muck of ages so to speak, where the people democratically vote in a leader, or leaders who simply serve to improve the lives of the people who voted them in

@Guitarman123 Like I said, the world definition and the United States definition aren’t even in the same universe.
