Brazilian Liberalism is an economically and socially center, statist, liberal, nationalistic, and imperialistic ideology of the Polcompball user Killer Kitty. 
Brazilian Liberalism is essentially a form of 
National Liberalism or 
Radical Centrism.
Beliefs
Economics
The economic model I support is largely inspired by the 
Chicago School of economics, 
Blair's New Labour, 
Nordomics (term I created two seconds ago to describe Nordic Social Democracy, A.K.A: Nordic Model) and alike. I believe there should be a compromise between capitalism and socialism, as while I a self-proclaimed capitalist, am still a welfarist. Natural resources should stay in state control, and I say the same for healthcare and education, which should be public and avaliable for all. While non-essential services, like the Postal service, should be privatized, as they seems to be a burden on society and should be held in private hands.
Welfare
A country with huge inequality like Brazil needs to always deliver it's services to the lower class populance, that's a basic thing in every developed nation. In a world like today, where the poor earns much less than the rich, welfare services are always welcome by many, even the upper class. Some of my proposals to reduce inequality is an income of 1600$ to everybody who lives in extreme poverty.
To reduce the dangers of *welfare parasitism*, like the one in 
Northeastern Brazil, were the local population is trapped in infinite circles of poverty by leeching social services and refusing to find jobs, making them dependant on welfare as a way to survival. As way to counter this I propose a welfare reform inspired by the one applied under Clinton's government, which forced welfare recipients to find a job within certain months on welfare, otherwise they would lose the benefits.
Trade
Being the proud 
Enlightened Centrist I am, I believe in finding a middle ground on issues like trade. While I personally supports free trade, believing in the teachings of 
Henry George, I am against accords that go against Brazil interests and replace the local manufacture industry. In short, tariffs should stay at a minimum rate, to compensate, the state should promote local industries to maintain fairness within international trade.
Taxes
While I am personally against taxes, I still believe they are a 'necessary evil' to the society. As much we hate them, we must agree they can be used to provide for all of us. Some taxes I support/at least agree within some parts includes:
- Land Value Tax - I am largely inspired by Henry George on this one. Land should be taxed, and that's it. Rural land on Brazil is very high, we could use this as an opportunity to tax it and provide to the country.
Pigouvian Tax - for those who don't know, a Pigouvian tax means taxation on activities which are generating negative outcomes to the markets as whole. This ideally would promote businessmens to act responsibly in their business decisions.
Church tax - Brazil has way more churches than schools and hospitals, and while I do respect 
Christianism and it's followers even though I am agnostic, I still believe churches should be taxed. After all, Brazil is secular at the end of the day.
Pollution tax - being born in one of the most environmentally rich countries in the world, I have to extend my support to environmentalism and taxation on pollution. The tax should be low, so things don't go expensive, and the income should be used to invest on green energy.
Income tax - I believe income should be taxed. If someoene is rich enough to afford a lavish lifestyle, he should contribute to the system.
Sin taxes - there are many dangerous products around in my opnion, cigarettes, beer, guns and alike. These shit should be taxed, and I am not going to elaborate further.
Corporate tax - corporate taxes should be low, to reduce the burden on big business so they can employ more people. It's a necessary evil.
Social Issues
A step forward is still a step forward, but we should still respect the old traditions of the past that lead us to glory. I like the idea of 
preserving the national heritage, culture, and the old ways of the past, but I am against discrimination based on 
race, 
gender, 
sexuality or 
religion. 
Xenophobia is still based though.
Progressive Conservative.
Justice
Living in a country like Brazil can make anyone stricly against crime. I do believe punitive justice is ideal, meaning criminals would be punished instead of rehabilitated, but there will be small exceptions for exemple if someone who very poor steals from a store to feed his family. I also believe death penalty should come back, and people convicted of murder, rape, treason, torture and coup attempt should be executed in the eletric chair or at least a lethal injection. By the way the Hamurabi Code was pretty based.
Environmentalism
I support environmental regulations such as laws against over-deforestation and the promotion of green energy. He is also against the extinction of endangered species and thinks the government should work alongside non-governamental organizations to reduce the effects of animal extinction in Brazil.
States' Rights
I support 
Federalism and 
Regionalism, because I do believe it's unfair a province has to change it's law without approval of the local government because another province has enacted this law. My ideal model for Federalism is inspired by 
American Federalism, meaning not only states can pass their own legislations, but they can also be economically independent (though there will be some small restrictions).
All Portuguese Nation
Brazil, since the times of colonianism, is a Lusitan nation. Everyone who wants to be Brazilian MUST speak Portuguese, and 
immigrants should have change their native language. Minority languages like 
German, 
Indigenous languages and 
Spanish should have minimal protections and be taught at school, but they will never be recognized. And cities at the north regions of 
Uruguay who speak 
Portuguese, including Artigas and Quaraí, must become 
protectorates of Brazil, adhering to the Brazilian Constitution and being forced to remove Spanish as the national language.
Braganza Restoration
I believe the 
House of Braganza, who ruled Brazil from 1822 to 1889, must be brought back by a nationwide referendum. The position of King of Brazil must be entirely ceremonial, with the executive powers still in the hands of the 
President, because I believe the King should only serve as the cultural icon of Brazil. Also, by restablishing the 
Brazilian Empire it would promote 
Pan-Lusitanism, and show the world that Brazil will always be the brother of Portugal.
Immigration
I believe Immigration should be unrestricted for nations part of the "Lusosphere" (term created to refer to nations that speak Portuguese, or at least recognize it as language) like Portugal and 
Angola. While for immigrants from nations that doesn't speak Portuguese, like 
Argentina for exemple, the said immigrant should adhere to the "Five Principles:"
- Agree to use Portuguese as main language;
- Limit the use of their own national language privately or among other immigrants, but they can teach the language to their childrens if they want;
- Assimilate to the Brazilian society, starting a job and never do anything to damage the nation;
- Promise to never use the country's social services before assimilating, and only use them if they are unemployed or in situations of extreme poverty;
- And finally, never engage in criminal acts,
If a immigrant break at least one of these laws, he will be deported.
Religion
The 
religion should never be in the way of 
progress like in the Middle Ages, and the government must guarantee it. I propose a series of policies aiming to 
secularize Brazil, being inspired by 
Kemal's Turkey and 
French Laïcité, including: 
banning clergymens from public positions, large taxes on 
churches and 
the promotion of freedom of religion.
Foreign Policy
My foreign policy is inspired by 
Nationalism, 
Imperialism, Pan-Lusitanism and 
Pragmatism.
Brazil should, at most, promote their own interests and cooperate with both the 
Western & 
Eastern worlds. Only engaging in treaties that does benefit Brazil or the rest of the Lusitan World .
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
I propose an 
Isolationist take for the Brazilian Foreign Policy in this conflict, because the conflict has nothing to do with us Brazilians. Brazil shouldn't take any sides and treat it as a non-issue. Brazil's role should 
send nurses to affected areas in 
Ukraine, 
provide aid to the Ukrainian government after the war to rebuild the destroyed infraestructure, and accept Ukrainian refugees.
Israel-Palestine Conflict
Brazil is a natural ally of 
Israel since 1948, when Oswaldo Aranha, our beloved hero, rallied for Israel independence in the United Nations. I stand in the side of Israel against 
Hamas terrorists and 
Hezbollah. But I still believe that a independent, secular and democratic state should be established in 
Palestine after Hamas is fully defeated.
China and Taiwan
I doesn't support the recognition of 
Taiwan, or alternatively Republic of China, but for Pragmatic reasons rather than 
political ones. 
China plays an important role in the world currently and it's mainly economically with massive investments on any allied nation, and that's were Brazil get's involved. As much I admire Taiwan's political and economic landscape, we can't position ourselves against China. China cut relationships with all the countries who recognize ROC, and Brazil can't afford to loose such valuable ally.
Mercosur
The 
Mercosur is a great way to expand the Brazilian influence towards other South American countries. All the countries in the Mercosur must adopt the Portuguese as second language and teach it on schools to receive the benefits of the pact. I see using the Mercosur as a good way to promote the Portuguese language, and I am also against 
Protectionism, so why we should be afraid of it?
Personality and Behaviour
Brazilian Liberalism acts and behaves like his founder, Killer Kitty.
Relationships
Friends
- National Liberalism - Literally me. My love for the Brazilian nation and my support to liberties shall go hand in hand.
- Progressive Conservatism - The path to the future... Is staying in the middle ground.
- Third Way - I care more about economic issues rather than social issues. And the way you mix both
Social Democracy and 
Fiscal Conservatism is what makes you special. You were very successful in 
United States and 
United Kingdom. - Imperialism - All the enemies of the Brazilian Empire shall be destroyed. Long live Pan-Lusitanism!
Macau Separatism - Macau is an independent, Lusitan, nation just like Brazil, Angola and Mozambique. Free Macau!
Eurosceptism (in Portugal) - The European Union is actively oppressing Portugal and turned the country from the richest country in the world to the slum of Europe. Free Portugal from EU!
Pedro II Thought - The savior of Brazil who bravely resisted against 
our enemies 
. It's a shame you got couped.
Radical Centrism - We don't need to trust on these Right-Wing or Left-Wing ideologies, we need to trust ourselves.
Authoritarian Democracy - Pluralism is important, but authoritarian actions can be justified to defend stability.
Frenemies
- Social Democracy - I admire the idea of fixing the problems of Capitalism without abolishing Capitalism itself. But you are a bit woke nowadays.
- Anti-Clericalism - We both agree religion has no place in politics, and we both believe clergymen should be banned from political positions. That's said. A problem I have against you is the fact many of you banned religion as whole, while I believe religion should be everyone's personal choice. That's why I like to call myself a Laícist.
Socialism of the 21st Century - You did alright in Bolivia, Equador, Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil, but you did an awful job elsewhere.
Indigenism - We both believe Amerindian people should be treated with equality before law, hate those dirty 
prospectors and believe natives shouldn't be subject to oppression or genocide. But you should assimilate into the Brazilian society and adhere to the Brazilian law.
Neoconservatism - Thanks for protecting Brazil from 
the Communist menance. But Brazil should still pursue an independent part, focusing on their own needs and problems. You are a reliable ally from time to time.
Fourth Theory - Same as above, but somewhat worse, since you hate Liberals while I am a Lib. The BRICS are still good allies for us by the way.
Dengism - I remember when I sucked a lot of your dick few months ago. Thanks for all the investments, and your economic model is inspirational for me. But please, can you give Macau independence?
Progressivism - We both want to 
redistribute wealth to the working class, 
give civil rights to minorities, secularize the society and 
promote liberty. But your lack of national pride is disgusting.
Conservatism - We both want to promote free markets, 
a national revival, 
thoughter stances on crime and remove the 
Bolivarian threat from the horizon. But your hatred of liberty is disturbing.- Zionism - Israel is the ally of Brazil and vice-versa. But sometimes you go too far.
Salazarism - Fascism and Theocracy is bad, but you should let your colonies be independent.
Enemies
De Francism - A ultraprogressive communist freak who attacked us for no reason. I am glad you got what you deserved.- Rosism - A despot who did the same thing as above. We could never let such dictator take control of the most important sea in the continent.
- Castroism and
Guevarism - You tried to invade us and install a Communist dictatorship on Brazil. But you've failed. We've successfully defeated the 
Communist guerrilhas. - Chavismo - The Bolivarian Revolution will not spread to Brazil. We will do everything, I mean EVERYTHING to save South America from the Communist threat.
Macronism - You literally want to take the Amazon rainforest and imperialize us. You are taking a fat L from 
Putin right, lmao.
Racial Nationalism - "From the white Portuguese men, to the black Angolan men; we are all united by a single shared goal: restore the power of Lusosphere."
If you wants to be criticized by me, just put yourself here. You don't need to ask.
- Template - Template.
Acid Gramscianism - Not a fan. The Marxist worldview was actually relevant in the 19th century, when Capitalism lead to poverty and inequality. Nowadays, I see Capitalism as "the most natural" out of all the economic systems; class mobility is only avaliable at Capitalism, and let's people who work hard earn the fruits of their own work. Capitalism was fixed in the 20th century, and will be fixed in the 21th century.
Baxism - Too Socialist, Progressive, And I honestly prefer 
Bonaparte and the 
Girondins in the context of the 
French Revolution. Not bad after all.
