He was conceived some time in the early 18th century as a child of the [[File: Monkeyzz-Enlightenment.png]] [[Enlightenment Thought|Enlightenment]].

Classical Liberalism hatched the idea, partly inspired by the French [[File:Physiocracypix.png]] [[Physiocracy|Physiocrats]] and their concept of laissez-faire, that individual freedom and a free market would result in a balanced economical equilibrium - as long as monopolies were not allowed to develop and destroy competitiveness. He viewed free trade as a path to universal peace and prosperity. He also often strongly opposed landed aristocracy, struggling against [[File: Monarch.png]] [[Monarchism|Monarchist]] and [[File: React.png]] [[Reactionaryism|Reactionary]] tendencies.

ClassLib is considered the original inspiration for most of the Lib-Right ideologies, including [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]], even though the modern concept of capitalism isn't necessarily entirely free market and free trade focused compared with the original Classical Liberalism; since monopoly and market power isn't vigorously kept in check, the state provides benefits to multiple specific corporations, and [[File:Protect.png]] [[Protectionism]] sometimes sneaks in when it's in the interest of powerful political and economical actors - revealing the connection to ClassLib's old enemy [[File: Merc.png]] [[Mercantilism]].

===Origins===
Historically the philosophy of classical liberalism has a set of factors which have contributed to its creation and development; the most prominent of these factors include the individualistic attitudes and beliefs of especially the protestant [[File: Christy.png]] [[Christian Theocracy|Christian faith]], opposition to [[File: Sec.png]] [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]] social contract theories which put the state or law as the source of ethics as opposed to the other way around, as well as the rise of international trade and [[File: Indust.png]] [[Industrialism|industrialisation]].

The foundation of classical liberal philosophy is generally attributed to the English philosopher [[File:JohnLocke.png]] John Locke<ref>Steven M. Dworetz (1994). ''The Unvarnished Doctrine: Locke, Liberalism, and the American Revolution''.</ref> and his "Two Treatises of Government" (1689) - while the arguably equally important and intrinsically linked classical economy is based on [[File:AdamSmith.png]] Adam Smith's "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" (1776).

Throughout the history of liberal thought, there's been competing branches, ranging from what could be called [[File:ConClib.png]] "[[Conservative Liberalism|traditionalism]]" [[File:Tradlib.png]] to [[File:Radlib.png]] "[[radicalism]]" [[File:Synthesis Market Anarchism.png]]. Thinkers such as John Locke and [[File:David Hume the icon.png]] David Hume may be considered relatively traditionalist, while thinkers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Thomas Paine were much more radical in their concepts of liberty. Even Adam Smith may be considered relatively radical in his approach to certain things such as aristocracy and monopoly power, perceiving that markets could fail if natural monopolies were allowed to form.

The United States Constitution was firmly cemented in a liberal philosophy, and the later 19th century success of liberal policies, free trade, etc. in Western Europe and the United States contributed to a massive growth in productivity and exchange.

Later thinkers such as Jeremy Bentham and J.S. Mill would introduce a utilitarian liberal approach which could be considered a part of a more left-wing branch, at least relatively, being also concerned with inequality resulting from the failures of markets in certain situations. This would eventually give rise to [[File:Soclib.png]] [[Social Liberalism]].

Towards the 20th century, there was still a marked division within the liberal ideology, and political radicals such as David Lloyd George in the UK were at odds with more traditionalist liberals as he passed the People's Budget which provided hitherto unprecedented welfare and sought to impose taxes on the wealthy, especially the landed aristocracy.

In the UK, the liberals would eventually be marginalised by the increasingly dominant dichotomy between [[File: Soc.png]] [[Socialism]] and [[File: Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]], with the Conservative Party taking on the mantle of [[File: Patcon.png]] [[Paternalistic Conservatism]] and the newly formed Labour Party wanting to drive social reforms even further than the Liberal Party.

In the US previous to the 1930s election, Democrats, such as [[File:Cleveland.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism|Grover Cleveland]], were Classical Liberals, thus the party was associated to (Classical) Liberalism and its members were regarded as Liberals. [[File:FDRismF.png]] [[Social Authoritarianism|Franklin D. Roosevelt]], however, despite representing a huge shift from this ideology, kept on identifying along with his followers as a "Liberal". That's why in The US, liberalism is more often used to refer to [[File:Soclib.png]] [[Social Liberalism]], while in other parts of the world liberalism kept a meaning closer to the original one of Classical Liberalism (though in Europe especially, political parties espousing the term "Liberal" are oftentimes mostly a mixed bag of [[File: Neoliberal-icon.png]] [[Neoliberalism|Neoliberal]], [[File: Necon.png]] [[Neoconservatism|Neoconservative]], [[File: Liberalconservative.png]] [[Liberal Conservatism|Liberal Conservative]] and [[File:Soclib.png]] [[Social Liberalism]]).

Those who, in the US, used to identify as Liberals in the broader sense had to start calling themselves Classical Liberals, or Liberals in the Classical tradition, and later in the 40s they started using the term "Libertarianism" to refer to themselves, appropriating the term from [[File:Libsoc.png]] [[Libertarian Socialism|Libertarian Socialists]], to be differentiated from the Democratic party adherents; and with the passing of time and the radicalization of ideas, the meaning of the term [[File:Libertarian.png]] [[Libertarianism]] shifted from a synonym of Classical Liberalism to a more modern version of it, and usually more radical, but sometimes the terms are still used interchangeably, such as Milton Friedman who described himself sometimes as a Classical Liberal and sometimes as a Libertarian.

Some modern Libertarian anti-statists have started to (re)appropriate the term in order to make their vision of a society based purely on [[File:Property.png]] [[Propertarianism|property rights]] and the [[File:Lfree.png]] [[Capitalism|free market]] more legitimate, but some say that it bears little resemblance with the views of the original founders of Liberalism, who were far from being [[File: Ancapf.png]] [[Anarcho-Capitalism|Anarcho-Capitalists]], proposing instead something close to a [[File:Minarchist.png]] [[Minarchism|night-watchmen state]].<br>

Adam Smith was a Scottish economist and philosopher who was a pioneer in the thinking of political economy and key figure during the Scottish Enlightenment. Also seen as "The Father of Economics" or "The Father of Capitalism", he wrote two classic works, The Theory of Moral Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. The latter, often abbreviated as The Wealth of Nations, is considered his magnum opus and the first modern work that treats economics as a comprehensive system and as an academic discipline. Smith refuses to explain the distribution of wealth and power in terms of God’s will and instead appeals to natural, political, social, economic and technological factors and the interactions between them. In his work, Smith introduced, among others, his theory of absolute advantage.

In his work, Smith introduced, among others, his theory of absolute advantage.
The Wealth of Nations was a precursor to the modern academic discipline of economics. In this and other works, Smith expounded how rational self-interest and competition can lead to economic prosperity. Smith was controversial in his own day and his general approach and writing style were often satirised by Tory writers in the moralising tradition of Hogarth and Swift, as a discussion at the University of Winchester suggests. In 2005, The Wealth of Nations was named among the 100 Best Scottish Books of all time.

In light of the arguments put forward by Smith and other economic theorists in Britain, academic belief in mercantilism began to decline in Britain in the late 18th century. During the Industrial Revolution, Britain embraced free trade and Smith's laissez-faire economics, and via the British Empire, used its power to spread a broadly liberal economic model around the world, characterised by open markets, and relatively barrier-free domestic and international trade.

Smith has been commemorated in the UK on banknotes printed by two different banks; his portrait has appeared since 1981 on the £50 notes issued by the Clydesdale Bank in Scotland ,and in March 2007 Smith's image also appeared on the new series of £20 notes issued by the Bank of England, making him the first Scotsman to feature on an English banknote.

The Bourbon Democrats were a faction in the [[File:Demcr.png]] Democratic Party during the late 19th century. They were never a formal group but were instead a collection of [[File:Demcr.png]] Democrat voters who coalesed around shared political goals. The term "Bourbon Demorcat" was actually a term created by their critics to describe their ideas as being old fashioned. Bourbon Democrats were supporters of [[File:Fiscon.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism]] and [[File:Lfree.png]] [[Capitalism|Laissez-Faire Capitalism]], while opposing bimetallism favoring the gold standard. They also supported [[File:Merit.png]] [[Meritocracy|Civil Service Reform]]. Bourbon Democrats supported the business interests of banks and railroads as well as the presidential candidacies of [[File:Anti-Corrupt.png]] [[Meritocracy|Samuel Tilden]] and [[File:Cleveland.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism|Grover Cleveland]]. The Bourbon Democrats ceased to be a force in American politics after [[File:Woodrow.png]] [[Bull Moose Progressivism|Woodrow Wilson]] was elected president in 1912 and named [[File:Lpop.png]] [[Left-Wing Populism|William Jennings Bryan]], a leading opponent of the Bourbon Democrats, as Secretary of State.

===[[File:Maderism.png]] Maderism===
Maderism is a political movement based on the ideology of Francisco I. Madero who seeked the resignation of the then President of [[File:Cball-Mexico.png|frameless]] Mexico [[File:PorfirioDíaz.png|frameless]] [[Authoritarian Capitalism|Porfirio Díaz]]. As a member of the upper-class Madero was able to acknowledge the systemic problems around Díaz's technocratic government. As a classical liberal from his time and taking inspiration from previous figures like [[File:Benito Juárez.png|frameless]] [[National Liberalism|Benito Juarez]] he valued the political participation of the citizens from all sectors of society, freedom of speech and assembly, restitution of land and the adoption of a liberal economy that would allow the population to participate without restrictions from Porfirian aristocracy.

===[[File:Washdem2.png]] Washingtonism ===
Washingtonism is based on the political ideology of the first President of the [[File:Cball-US.png]] Untied States, George Washington. Despite being elected unanimously, Washington was not a very deep political thinker. He considered himself to be a farmer and a soldier rather than a politician. As such he took a moderate approach to his position as President and surrounded himself with the brightest minds in America including [[File:Jeffersondem2.png]] [[Jeffersonian Democracy|Thomas Jefferson]] and [[File:Hamiltonianism.png]] [[Hamiltonianism|Alexander Hamilton]]. While Washington valued the input from both men, he more often sided with Alexander Hamilton, particularly on economic and foreign policy issues. Above all Washington's main goal as president was to unite the thirteen colonies under the new federal government and prevent fractioning over geographic or political lines.

Classical Liberalism is an economically center-right to far-right, mildly to moderately libertarian, and culturally variable ideology.

He was conceived some time in the early 18th century as a child of the Enlightenment. He used to believe that people had an inherent right to their "Life, Liberty and Property" though he later amended that to "Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness".

Classical Liberalism hatched the idea, partly inspired by the French Physiocrats and their concept of laissez-faire, that individual freedom and a free market would result in a balanced economical equilibrium - as long as monopolies were not allowed to develop and destroy competitiveness. He viewed free trade as a path to universal peace and prosperity. He also often strongly opposed landed aristocracy, struggling against Monarchist and Reactionary tendencies.

ClassLib is considered the original inspiration for most of the Lib-Right ideologies, including Capitalism, even though the modern concept of capitalism isn't necessarily entirely free market and free trade focused compared with the original Classical Liberalism; since monopoly and market power isn't vigorously kept in check, the state provides benefits to multiple specific corporations, and Protectionism sometimes sneaks in when it's in the interest of powerful political and economical actors - revealing the connection to ClassLib's old enemy Mercantilism.

Some time in the early 20th century ClassLib became the father of Liberalism, who managed to then make the Liberal Dynasty into what it is today; with his other offspring, Libertarianism and National Liberalism taking on more fringe positions.

History

Origins

Historically the philosophy of classical liberalism has a set of factors which have contributed to its creation and development; the most prominent of these factors include the individualistic attitudes and beliefs of especially the protestant Christian faith, opposition to authoritarian social contract theories which put the state or law as the source of ethics as opposed to the other way around, as well as the rise of international trade and industrialisation.

The foundation of classical liberal philosophy is generally attributed to the English philosopher John Locke[3] and his "Two Treatises of Government" (1689) - while the arguably equally important and intrinsically linked classical economy is based on Adam Smith's "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" (1776).

Throughout the history of liberal thought, there's been competing branches, ranging from what could be called "traditionalism" to "radicalism" . Thinkers such as John Locke and David Hume may be considered relatively traditionalist, while thinkers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Thomas Paine were much more radical in their concepts of liberty. Even Adam Smith may be considered relatively radical in his approach to certain things such as aristocracy and monopoly power, perceiving that markets could fail if natural monopolies were allowed to form.

Development and decline

The United States Constitution was firmly cemented in a liberal philosophy, and the later 19th century success of liberal policies, free trade, etc. in Western Europe and the United States contributed to a massive growth in productivity and exchange.

Later thinkers such as Jeremy Bentham and J.S. Mill would introduce a utilitarian liberal approach which could be considered a part of a more left-wing branch, at least relatively, being also concerned with inequality resulting from the failures of markets in certain situations. This would eventually give rise to Social Liberalism.

Towards the 20th century, there was still a marked division within the liberal ideology, and political radicals such as David Lloyd George in the UK were at odds with more traditionalist liberals as he passed the People's Budget which provided hitherto unprecedented welfare and sought to impose taxes on the wealthy, especially the landed aristocracy.

In the UK, the liberals would eventually be marginalised by the increasingly dominant dichotomy between Socialism and Capitalism, with the Conservative Party taking on the mantle of Paternalistic Conservatism and the newly formed Labour Party wanting to drive social reforms even further than the Liberal Party.

Modern Liberalism and its meaning

In the US previous to the 1930s election, Democrats, such as Grover Cleveland, were Classical Liberals, thus the party was associated to (Classical) Liberalism and its members were regarded as Liberals. Franklin D. Roosevelt, however, despite representing a huge shift from this ideology, kept on identifying along with his followers as a "Liberal". That's why in The US, liberalism is more often used to refer to Social Liberalism, while in other parts of the world liberalism kept a meaning closer to the original one of Classical Liberalism (though in Europe especially, political parties espousing the term "Liberal" are oftentimes mostly a mixed bag of Neoliberal, Neoconservative, Liberal Conservative and Social Liberalism).

Classical Liberalism and Libertarianism

Those who, in the US, used to identify as Liberals in the broader sense had to start calling themselves Classical Liberals, or Liberals in the Classical tradition, and later in the 40s they started using the term "Libertarianism" to refer to themselves, appropriating the term from Libertarian Socialists, to be differentiated from the Democratic party adherents; and with the passing of time and the radicalization of ideas, the meaning of the term Libertarianism shifted from a synonym of Classical Liberalism to a more modern version of it, and usually more radical, but sometimes the terms are still used interchangeably, such as Milton Friedman who described himself sometimes as a Classical Liberal and sometimes as a Libertarian.

Some modern Libertarian anti-statists have started to (re)appropriate the term in order to make their vision of a society based purely on property rights and the free market more legitimate, but some say that it bears little resemblance with the views of the original founders of Liberalism, who were far from being Anarcho-Capitalists, proposing instead something close to a night-watchmen state.
However some Anarcho-Capitalists argue that during the 20th century one can identify a distinct radical wing within the Classical Liberal movement, referring to Classical Liberals such as Gustave de Molinari, Herbert Spencer and Auberon Herbert, thus calling themselves Classical Liberals (or rather Radical Classical Liberals) wouldn't be as far from the original meaning as it might seem at first.

Variants

Adam Smith Thought

Adam Smith was a Scottish economist and philosopher who was a pioneer in the thinking of political economy and key figure during the Scottish Enlightenment. Also seen as "The Father of Economics" or "The Father of Capitalism", he wrote two classic works, The Theory of Moral Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. The latter, often abbreviated as The Wealth of Nations, is considered his magnum opus and the first modern work that treats economics as a comprehensive system and as an academic discipline. Smith refuses to explain the distribution of wealth and power in terms of God’s will and instead appeals to natural, political, social, economic and technological factors and the interactions between them. In his work, Smith introduced, among others, his theory of absolute advantage. The Wealth of Nations was a precursor to the modern academic discipline of economics. In this and other works, Smith expounded how rational self-interest and competition can lead to economic prosperity. Smith was controversial in his own day and his general approach and writing style were often satirised by Tory writers in the moralising tradition of Hogarth and Swift, as a discussion at the University of Winchester suggests. In 2005, The Wealth of Nations was named among the 100 Best Scottish Books of all time. In light of the arguments put forward by Smith and other economic theorists in Britain, academic belief in mercantilism began to decline in Britain in the late 18th century. During the Industrial Revolution, Britain embraced free trade and Smith's laissez-faire economics, and via the British Empire, used its power to spread a broadly liberal economic model around the world, characterised by open markets, and relatively barrier-free domestic and international trade. Smith has been commemorated in the UK on banknotes printed by two different banks; his portrait has appeared since 1981 on the £50 notes issued by the Clydesdale Bank in Scotland ,and in March 2007 Smith's image also appeared on the new series of £20 notes issued by the Bank of England, making him the first Scotsman to feature on an English banknote.

Bourbon Democratism

The Bourbon Democrats were a faction in the Democratic Party during the late 19th century. They were never a formal group but were instead a collection of Democrat voters who coalesed around shared political goals. The term "Bourbon Demorcat" was actually a term created by their critics to describe their ideas as being old fashioned. Bourbon Democrats were supporters of Fiscal Conservatism and Laissez-Faire Capitalism, while opposing bimetallism favoring the gold standard. They also supported Civil Service Reform. Bourbon Democrats supported the business interests of banks and railroads as well as the presidential candidacies of Samuel Tilden and Grover Cleveland. The Bourbon Democrats ceased to be a force in American politics after Woodrow Wilson was elected president in 1912 and named William Jennings Bryan, a leading opponent of the Bourbon Democrats, as Secretary of State.

FDPism

Lockeanism

Maderism

Maderism is a political movement based on the ideology of Francisco I. Madero who seeked the resignation of the then President of Mexico Porfirio Díaz. As a member of the upper-class Madero was able to acknowledge the systemic problems around Díaz's technocratic government. As a classical liberal from his time and taking inspiration from previous figures like Benito Juarez he valued the political participation of the citizens from all sectors of society, freedom of speech and assembly, restitution of land and the adoption of a liberal economy that would allow the population to participate without restrictions from Porfirian aristocracy.

  • Nazism - You tried to kill Mises!
  • Corporatocracy - We need to talk, my child... WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL IS THIS?!
  • Alt-Lite - You're not one of us and you will never be. You ruined every right-wing liberal movement with that culture war rubbish.

I'd rather you ignore what some of my authors and supporters have said about immigrants, women, feminism, and Islam.
  • Alt-Right - You're an outright Neo-Nazi, which is even worse. Stop saying that only white people and white civilizations are able to follow or be the closest to my philosophy! Go ask Reactionary Liberalism. Also ignore what some of my authors and supporters have said about race, black people, slavs, and fascism.
  • Manosphere - What do you want from me?! MGTOW and Neomasculinism are not that bad.
  • White Nationalism - Another one?! Good Lord, leave me alone! Please don't look at what some of the founding fathers and my other supporters said about a white ethnostate.

  • Marxism - My archenemy in modern days.

Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
