'''Liberalismball''', clipped to '''Lib''', is a somewhat vague ideology generally considered to be somewhere in the centre of the political compass, he was the head of the Liberal Dynasty (a title now taken by [[Neoliberalismball|Neoliberal]]), he and his children absolutely dominate the Overton window of European, North American and Australian politics and vast chunks of politics of other continents, through Habsburg-style diplomacy of fucking everyone and then themselves. Typically, Liberalism is a pro-free enterprise, yet socially progressive ideology. He has mildly pro-globalist views, like Neoliberalism, but not quite as much. And it really pisses him off when you call him a leftist, or socialist.

Beliefs

Though liberalism is rather vaguely defined, and its definition alters depending on when and where the term is used, it is typically associated with values such as multiparty democracy, civil liberties, secularism, progressivism, internationalism, and a market-based economy.

What separates Liberal Democracy from Classical Liberalism is an emphasis on social justice and social equality as compared with its predecessor. Liberalism tends to support moderate means-tested welfare targeted at the poor to ensure people can meet basic human needs. He, also with his dad, Classical Liberal, influences a lot of liberal ideologies.

Variants

Liberal Internationalism

Flag of Liberal Internationalism

Liberal Internationalism is a foreign policy doctrine that argues that international organizations should achieve multilateral agreements between states that uphold rules-based norms and promote liberal democracy through things like humanitarian aid or military intervention. It is defined by achieving global structures within international systems that are inclined towards promoting a liberal world order through things like global free trade, liberal economics, and liberal political systems. These international organizations would include institutions like NATO, EU, UN, and the IMF.

Secular Liberalism

Secular liberalism is a form of liberalism in which secularist principles and values, and sometimes non-religious ethics, are especially emphasised. It supports the separation of religion and state. Moreover, secular liberals are usually advocates of liberal democracy and the open society as models for organizing stable and peaceful societies.

Cultural Liberalism

Cultural Liberalism is a social philosophy that expresses the social dimension of liberalism and favors the freedom of individuals to choose to whether to conform to cultural norms. Although, commonly referred to as social liberalism in the context of the United States, doesn't imply an ideology per say, and just the general attitude that individuals should be free to decide their own decisions regardless of the political ideology.

This follows the harm principle, as cultural liberals believe that society shouldn't impose any specific code of behavior on individuals, they defend the moral rights of nonconformists to express their own identity however they see fit as long as they do not harm anyone else.

Liberal Corporatism

Liberal corporatism is a liberal version of corporatism that recognizes the barganing interests of multiple groups within society, such as in the business, labor, and agricultural sectors and licenses them to engage in bargaining over economic policies with the state. This form of corporatism doesn't oppose individualism like a lot of forms of corporatism, which is where the political liberalism comes from, and is an influential component of the progressive movement in the United States, that has been referred to as "interest group liberalism". Liberal corporatism is commonly supported by proponents in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.

Liberal Democracy

Flag of Liberal Democracy

Liberal Democracy is a combination of a liberal political ideology that operates under an indirect democratic form of government. It is characterized by elections between multiple distinct political parties, a separation of powers into different branches of government, the rule of law in everyday life as part of an open society, a market economy with private property, the equal protection of human rights, civil rights, civil liberties, and political freedoms for all people. This the most known and common type of democracy in the west, and is usually refered as just " Democracy" in the west.

Personality

Liberalism is often shown getting easily angered or "triggered" by others and is shown to not be the biggest fan of violence. He is often schooled in debates.

However, he also has a secretive, wiser side that often acts philosophical and just.

(Also, I like capitalism, can't you see that just a few reforms in healthcare would make America better?)
  • Kemalism - I am grateful to Atatürk for getting Fethi Okyar to found the Liberal Republican Party, but statism is stupid. Ataturk was too authoritarian but was better than the reactionary cuck Erdogan. At least modern Kemalists support me.
  • Chiang Kai-shek Thought - Lei Chen, Tsiang Tingfu, and Hu Shih supported you against the commies, but why tf did you shut down the Free China Journal? Also, the white terror was mega cringe.
  • Borisism - Tbh, you confuse me a lot. Are you a LibCon or a Trumpist? Brexit and right-wing populism are cringe, but at least you have some progressive social takes and centrist economic policies Ig. I still prefer the Lib Dems over you even though I support you against Corbyn the old twat.
  • Conservatism - Our relationship is pretty odd indeed. We constantly fight each other over cultural policies but in terms of economics, we are mostly chill.
  • Japanese Liberal Democracy - Not the best example of my system but I have to admit you make Nippon a better place.
  • Neoconservatism and Third Way - Spread my ideals worldwide, but sometimes in a manner that scares me.
  • Alt-Lite - He often hates my cultural aspects, but supports economic ones.
  • Pinochetism - You like free-market capitalism, but now you just made us look bad.
