Outside of the US, "republicanism" just means being for the abolition of monarchy, which anyone on the left who's not a hypocrite and/or profoundly ignorant already is 🤷
What if you're left, have no problem with abolishing monarchy but don't really have a problem with giving huge sums of money to the monarchy in exchange for [???] either? Republican apathism!
Jk I just don't find it a priority but it really should be done sooner or later.
I agree completely.
Speaking as a far left Dane, I consider the fact that we have royals in 2025 a huge waste of public resources and also a REALLY bad look when it comes to government for and by regular people.
That being said, I'm fully aware that there's MUCH bigger problems that are more important to deal with, so its abolishment isn't anywhere near as high on my list of reform priorities as it would be if pure "wrongness" and symbolism were the only criteria 😉
Same in Sweden pretty much. I can also recognise some of the arguments from the other side in favor of keeping the constitutional monarchy. Not that I think those arguments outweigh the fact that the money could be used elsewhere.
