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.

How to Draw

  3. Draw a golden/yellow circle (#ffd700) and then make dents in it of the blue color. (Symbolizes the world being held by the invisible hand of the market)

Frenemies

  • National Liberalism - I appreciate your support for civil liberties, but your nationalism sometimes scares me.
  • Anti-Fascism - Look, I'm an anti-fascist too, but can you stop being so violent and beating up anyone who disagrees with you?

(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.
