Revision as of 05:04, 26 June 2021 by imported>TargetedIndividual (→‎Parties)

Paternalistic Conservatism shortened to PatCon is a political ideology which combines economically center to center-left policies, usually reminiscent of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationSocial Democracy/Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationSocial Capitalism but not usually based on social democracy with a centre-right to right-wing socio-cultural policy that is Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Conservative. It is reminiscent to old European Conservatism, which usually advocated for more state intervention, regulation and support of the welfare state before they started to embrace Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Neoliberal economics in the 80s after the rise of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Margaret Thatcher.


Consistent with principles such as duty, hierarchy and organicism, it can be seen an outgrowth of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationTraditionalist Conservatism. Paternalistic Conservatives support neither the individual nor the state in principle, but are instead prepared to support either or recommend a balance between the two depending on what is most practical thus making them civically moderate.

Another major moment in the history of British paternalistic conservatism is the post-war consensus between the Labour and Conservative Parties, which was an agreement between the both parties to both support Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Keynesian economic policies and the welfare state.

Blue Labour is a faction inside of the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Labour Party which promotes Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination conservative values on social issues.

The Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Social Democratic Party in the UK has a similar outlook to that of a Paternalistic Conservative.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom since July 2019 and a one-nation tory has rapidly increased government spending during the COVID-19 epidemic.

Other countries

In Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Poland there's a strong divide between conservative view of economic policy, both of them being generally based on an opposition to Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination communism of the previous PRL era.

Beliefs

Paternalistic Conservatism and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Longism are currently the two Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Authoritarian Left ideologies that do not identify as Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Socialist of any kind and should be portrayed being irritated when they are called that, their beliefs meant to provide an alternative to socialism with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Populist economics.

Personality

PatCon will act a bit of a "conservative boomer" as compared to other Social-Democratic balls and emphasizes on acting proper and hard-working.
