“They’re ‘commonwealths’”

That is an acknowledgement that certain aspects of government activity are for the benefit of all citizens, not that they are socialist.

Weal is the root word, not wealth, as in money/assets.

The concept that government should exist and treat all citizens equally is the idea (and a noble one), not that all citizens wealth should be shared by the government, which is one form of tyranny.

No one here is calling for “all citizens wealth should be shared by the government”.

“Weal is the root word, not wealth, as in money/assets.”

No, kidding, genius. You just figure that out all by yourself?
