This is about the small "r" kind of republican, not the G.O.P.
I have been looking into several political ideologies, and I classify myself as a republican. I have encountered two interesting philosophies that are a part of republicanism: liberal republicanism and classical republicanism.
On the surface, classical republicanism seems pretty good, but I must question where they would stand on capitalism and natural rights.
I tried looking up liberal republicans, but I kept getting results about the Liberal Republicans (A historical offshoot of the U.S. Republicans), or Republicans In Name Only.
Does anyone know anything about the philosophy of liberal republicanism?
