	Blinded by the Right
		Since the Gilded Age, the Republican Party has been known as the party of wealth, and under President George W. Bush it is more aggressive than ever in serving the interests of the monied classes.
		Wealth is to be preserved and hoarded, and as to sharing the bounty for the common good, well, the Grand Old Party doesn't mingle with anything "common."
		They morphed a party that used to believe in smaller government into a behemoth calling for government in the bedroom, in the womb, in the bookstore; and looking to install the church in public schools and statehouses.

	Common Wealth Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Common Wealth Party (CW) was a socialist political party active in the United Kingdom in the Second World War.
		During the war years, there was an all-party coalition government incorporating the Conservative, Labour, and Liberal Parties, who agreed that casual vacancies should be filled unopposed.
		The extent to which former military leaders were appointed to run the nationalised industries led Common Wealth to warn throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s against trends towards regimentation in society and later the growing cult of the ‘expert’ technocrat.

	Commonwealth Party Main
		The Commonwealth Party is a party that favors limited government, regional/local autonomy and opposes government oppressions such as: over taxation, prohibition drug policy, overregulation in business, government waste and mismanagement, the policies of the welfare state and the over use of government.
		Though they act as the defender of the common citizen, they themselves are more involved in questionable business deals, fraud, racial injustice, impoverishing the masses and tyranny over the individual all through government immunity.
		The Commonwealth Party though entertains the secession of any or all of the current 50 states should it come to a head -- that is all of America should secede from 'itself' and reconfigure into the Commonwealth.

	Defending Our Common Wealth

		Love of our common wealth is the root impulse behind countless acts of gratitude and kindness that ordinary people perform every day.

	Tate Magazine Issue 8: Common Wealth
		'Common' suggests shared topographies, trade, legislation, languages and goals (common land, market, law, tongue and good), as well as the vernacular (common culture) and the everyday (common occurrence or sight).
		The works in 'Common Wealth' don't demand an audience of wall-watchers, window-shopping for prêt-a-porter conceptualism or a pretty passage of paint.
		Reflecting on the show's title, Hirschhorn has said: 'Democracy is the "common", utopia is the real "wealth".' With U Lounge, he plays the part of the rich man bearing alms.

	Socialism Today - Towards a new workers' party
		Membership of the party has officially halved from (a fictional) 400,000 in 1997 to 200,000 today, which is a gross exaggeration of the reality of the Labour Party on the ground.
		The Socialist Alliance floundered similarly on the innate sectarianism of the Socialist Workers’ Party (SWP) and the manoeuvring characteristic of that organisation.
		Specifically, all parties and individuals must have the right, while subscribing to the basic programme and organisation, to argue for their own ideas, to produce and sell their own newspapers, and to form platforms to influence the new formation.

	OnTheCommons.org \| The "Common Good" -- or the Commons?
		Let them begin to recognize that the commons is at least as powerful a source of “value-creation” as the market – and that government must therefore take affirmative steps to fortify and extend the commons.
		The “common good” may be a catchy marketing hook in these grim times of private greed, but it is not, alas, a political philosophy.
		The greatest value of the commons as a philosophy, agenda and rhetoric may be in helping us recover the common wealth.

	Event Archive: Ralph Nader - Commonwealth Club
		The other two major candidates were running in a two-party society where the assumption was that the country belongs to two parties and no other party, and if you wanted to challenge one or other of the two parties, you would have to learn how to climb a cliff with a slippery rope.
		A political system that is not congenial to small parties is a political system that cannot regenerate itself any more than nature can regenerate itself if it doesn't allow seeds to sprout, or a business can regenerate itself if it doesn't allow innovators, entrepreneurs, and small business to sprout.
		Yet this kind of two-party, duopoly thinking has been ingrained in the minds of millions of Americans who are willing to be told, year after year, that you either stay home if you don't like the two parties or you trundle to the polls in a less than enthusiastic selection of the least worst.

	The History Cooperative \| Conference Proceedings \| ASSLH\| An Australian socialist in England: Kim Mackay, the British ...
		As a member of the Labour Party and Common Wealth he cut a rather curious figure on the left of the 1940s-50s.
		In the late 1930s, Mackay became disillusioned with the timidity of the Labour Party and the electoral truce that was agreed at the outbreak of war.
		Desmond Donnelly, an early supporter of Common Wealth and later a Labour MP, viewed the party retrospectively as a combination of ‘leftist militants and middle class do-gooders’.9 Mackay probably represented both wings; a respected intellectual, independently wealthy, with a commitment to democratic socialism.

		The Commonwealth Party is a party that advocates smaller government and favors allocating the distribution of power towards local and regional rule.
		In either case, once regional autonomy is restored in accordance with the free and democratic principles of the state (namely the U.S. Constitution in America) and the logistics of an emergency have been met and passed, higher government should withdraw and allow internal affairs of the regions(s) in question to resume.
		The party does support appropriate, common sense, civil and criminal liabilities upon gun sellers (and owners) for providing guns to individuals showing obvious signs to the layman of criminal intent, mental conditions and mental incapacities which render the individual unable to handle firearms legally or responsibly.

		Benn's interest in the Common Wealth Party is a fascinating episode which warrants futher exploration (as does the whole history of the party and its by-election successes against the Churchill coalition government).
		Benn entered the House of Commons in 1950 replacing Stafford Cripps as the member for Bristol South-East.
		He already knew then that he was the heir to a peerage (this was before the days of life peerages and his father's service as a Labour cabinet minister had earned him a hereditory title which would have been passed on to Michael Benn who died in the Second World War).

		What's at work in former Yugoslavia is nationalism, which is a political doctrine that preaches that people with a common history or language or religion form a separate "nation" from all other people and have the right to have their own political state to defend their common interest.
		Those who associate "socialism" with bolshevism or the Labour Party are almost always incapable of envisaging a system of common ownership and instinctively equate it with nationalisation of one form or another.
		Like many members I was attracted to the Socialist Party by its name rather than put off (at 14 I carefully scrutinised Tony Benn's "Arguments for Socialism" in a vain attempt to find arguments for socialism!).
