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 
Third Way economic policies (a pragmatical economic policy idealized by Anthony Giddens emphatizing a private control of the markets with regulations to ensure worker's rights are respected) adopted by 
Anthony Blair, 
Bill Clinton, 
Fernando Henrique Cardoso, 
Barack Obama and the early government of 
Luis Inacio Lula da Silva. I believe there are two types of state-owned companies - essential and non-essential industries. Essential companies are too important for the society to be privatized while non-essential companies, while still important some way, are less essential and have more good outcomes of privatization compared to essential companies. Essential services often includes Healthcare, Education and Natural Resources (like Oil and Natural Gas) while non-essential services includes the Postal service and the Mining
sector.
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 using welfare as a way to survival 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
I believe 
Protectionism is just another form of 
Crony Capitalism who only helps the rich and makes the poor pays more for international products who should be cheap, and the Protectionist arguments are really nonsense, like the 
United States is one of the most industrialized and export-oriented country in the world and has dropped protectionism in the 70's. The solution for employment problems are more structural, like awful infraestructure, few workers' rights and too much bureaucracy and cronyism. Trade should be liberalized and tariffs should be reduced, but the process should be slow to avoid the same problems 
Argentina had in the 70's (with the national companies literally having no ability to market against international companies).
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 believe 
Christianism is a good and moral religion, 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
Despite having conservative stances on 
Police, 
Military and 
Woke Culture, I still have progressive stances on 
Race, 
LGBT+ rights and 
drug legalization. Plus, I am still a 
Brazilian Patriot but I see nothing wrong with safe, legal and assimilative immigration since Brazil was founded by these principles. 
Progressive Conservatism perfectly describes my cultural policy.
Justice
I do believe in selective justice. It means punishment and rehabilitation will depend on the crime commited. If Person A steals to feed his poor family, the government will offer a rehabilitation program to Person A, while putting his family on welfare, and when Person A is released from prison the government will offer him a job for making an income for his family. Another example is if Person B kills his wife and sexually abuse his daughter, the Person B will be executed in a eletric chair while the family of the Person B (talking about his parents and siblings) will be forced to, not only give a compensation to the family of the murdered wife of Person B, but also raise the daughter of Person B.
Environmentalism
I support environmental regulations such as laws against over-deforestation and promotion of green energy to decrease the impacts of the Climate Change on Brazil and the world. I am 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).
Malthusianism
Have you noticed every country who is poor, or at least has huge inequality, has a natality rate above 2:42 (which is the average of the world). Recently, I have become more and more in agreement with the 
Malthusian Philosophy. And even in a country like 
Brazil, where the population is shrinking, our poorest and unequal regions have more birth rates than richer regions. Due to my Malthusian way of thinking, I propose the creation of a Family Planning Campaign in regions with high natality rates (for example the Northeastern Brazil). This campaign would distribute contraceptives to teenagers, build abortion clinics in the region and warn parents about the dangers of having more than two childrens.
Immigration
I believe immigrants 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, 
small taxes on 
churches and 
the promotion of freedom of religion.
Foreign Policy
Brazil should, at most, promote their own interests and cooperate with both the 
Western & 
Eastern worlds. Even joining the 
Non-Aligned Movement to promote our interests and increase our presence in BRICS.
I also believe we should take a harsher stance against 
the Chavist government and send troops to 
Paraguay and 
Colombia to destroy the 
EPP and 
FARCs due to their targeting of Brazilian citizens in those countries as well as smuggling drugs to our borders.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
I propose an 
Isolationist take for the Brazilian Foreign Policy in this conflict because if we start to support 
Ukraine, this could damage our relationship with 
Russia, and if we support Russia, this could make Brazil seen as a country who supports war crimes and invasion at the world stage. So ideally Brazil wouldn't take any side and treat it as a non-issue, especially because it is none of our business and more of a issue for 
EU and USA to solve. I still support Ukraine nonethless since it's a invasion against a sovereign country.
Israel-Palestine Conflict
I believe the 
United Nations should establish a new mandate in Israel and Palestine to gradually transition the Jewish and the Arab nation in a new and Secular country (the name doesn't matter). The transition will last for 60 or 70 years and will have five main principles:
- Punish
Hamas and 
Israeli War Criminals - Increase efforts to create a Secular and
Multicultural society in the Levant - Demilitarize the Israeli/Palestinian society and promote peace in the Middle East
- Hand power to factions who are willing to accept the said proposals, like
Labour Zionists and the 
Fatah - Educate the population and promote
Anti-Racism
Mercosur
The 
Mercosur is a great way to expand the Brazilian influence towards other South American countries. This pact would promote free trade among countries.
Venezuela and Communist Guerrillas
Regarding 
Maduro's Regime in Venezuela it must be overthrown, and a proposed way to bring it down is called Operation Caracas a Neocon LARP I created which the Brazilian government would arm the opposition with firearms to start a Anti-Communist insurgency in the country with the mission of ending the Chavista Rule. Other aspect of the Operation Caracas would be that some Brazilian Police Officers and Military Personel would train them to be more effective.
In light of my Anti-Communist Foreign Policy I would send troops to Paraguay and Colombia to better assist the fight against the FARCS and the EPP - two terrorist Communist organizations who attacked either the Brazilian Government or Brazilian citizens in the past, and must be punished accordingly.
Personality and Behaviour
Brazilian Liberalism acts and behaves like his founder, Killer Kitty.
Relationships
Friends
- National Liberalism - Literally me. My love for Brazil and my support to liberties shall go hand in hand.
- Progressive Conservatism - Revolutions only made the things worse and made the countries regress to square one, look what happened in Russia and China after the Communist Revolution and the death of Mao and Stalin (more specifically after 1980)... Only capitalism came back.
- Third Way - I am not a big fan of your current social policy, but the way you mix both
Social Democratic and 
Fiscal Conservative elements is what makes you special. You were very successful in 
United States, 
Brazil and 
United Kingdom (prior the Iraq War). 
Interventionism - Sometimes we need to fight against some small 
threats 
. I am still against NATO interventions in Middle East.
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 only trust ourselves.
Authoritarian Democracy - Pluralism is important, but authoritarian actions can be justified to defend stability and security. Cope libertarians.- Malthusianism - Why all the wealthy countries have a natality rate below 2.42 while poor countries have the opposite? TIME TO ABORT SOME FRESH FETUSES!
- Green Liberalism - What else would we[humans] be worthy if we kill our own home?
Frenemies
- Social Democracy - I admire the idea of fixing the problems of Capitalism without abolishing Capitalism itself. But you are a bit woke and overregulationist 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 - Are you sure it will work this time?
Indigenism - What the Portuguese did was unfair, and your traditions should be promoted among your people. But land-back sucks.- Neoconservatism - Please, don't force others to become your friends.
Fourth Theory - Same as above.
Dengism - Authoritarianism is bad.
Progressivism - Half good half bad.
Conservatism - Same as above.
Enemies
De Francism - Literally an unironic Cultural Marxist before Marx and Wokeness even existed. I am glad this shit died.
Reactionaryism - No one wants to go back to the Middle Ages. Bye
Revolutionary Progressivism - Keep talking about "Revolution to Destroy the Society" when Brazilian troops destroy your city.
Marxism-Leninism - Worked so many times and never killed anyone.- Rosism - Buenos Aires Invasion go brrrrrrrr!
- Chavismo - Total Bolivarian Death.
Macronism - Kill yourself.
If you wants to be criticized by me, just put yourself here. You don't need to ask.
- Template - Template.
Baxism - Too Socialist, Progressive, and I honestly prefer 
Bonaparte and the 
Girondins in the context of the 
French Revolution. Otherwise it's not that bad.
Neocarlism - We are way more closer politically than ever. I dislike your Socialism and Reactionaryism, but your other beliefs are so acceptable that you managed to be good. Would recommend, but in a moderate form.
Levism - Our ideology is extremely close. We are both 
Nationalistic Authoritarian Liberals, and your 
economic and social policies are pretty good as well.
DECBism - Too libertine and dogmatic. Otherwise, you aren't so bad after all.
Neo-MugiKotobuki8814ism - Literally the worst ideology on this website. You support EVERYTHING most people find disgusting, and don't get me started on the fact you simps for 
mass shooters and 
this pedophile. At the very least you are banned.
Corporatist Pan-Hispanism - I don't view a Reactionary, Theocratic, Pan-Hispanist, Monarchy in the Brazilian borders as a good thing. Since they would do everything to undertemine us. Very cringe.
Imperial Socialism - Pratically just 
Brezhnev as a self-insert. I don't like the idea of expanding Communism to other countries through war. But some parts of your economic policy makes you more tolerabe.
- - I what to spread Socialism through Imperialism
Volker41ism - I really dislike this ideology. The Theocratism, White Supremacism (even if you are an amerindian), National Syndicalism and Nazism made this an extremely brimstone ideology.
Argentine Theory - My opposite!
Paleo-Guirism - You are too radical...
Evenoskyism - Utopic and theocratic. Your economic views are too extreme for me by the way.
Calmism - Same as above. You are very conservative and socialist, and I am not a big fan of neither. Otherwise, it's not that bad.
Socialist World Republic(/
/
) - Your Socialism, Authoritarianism, Conservatism, Globalism and your uncompromising foreign policy are rather, well, kinda scary. At least your icons are high-quality, and I value that.
ActualCaesar - Just me but more conservative and nationalistic. Pretty good.
Meowxism - Don't agree with most of the ideology. I don't like Marxism-Leninism, Revolutionary Progressivism and others.
Revolutionary Frisianism - I think your ideology became worse, since not only have you abandoned Centrism, but you are also now a Libertarian Socialist (I am not a fan of neither Libertarianism nor Socialism), a Reactionary and a revolutionary. I also disagree with File:UniNat.png Universal Nationalism, but I can respect it since it has a good ideological basis. Though Progressive Conservatism is very based.
Neo-Dankeism - This ideology, in short, is just big-tent LibLeftism. But at least it's tolerable than 80% of the ideologies from this site.
Psychocommunism - I really dislike the Fisherian elements and the part of "proletarians creating a new culture and rejecting capitalist cultures". Furthermore, I don't like the economic policy. A descentralized planned economy is still a planned economy at the end of the day, and I dislike Cybercommunism. A thing we can agree is Laicism and Internationalism.
N.Brioism - Fucking dystopian ideology. We disagree on everything. Also, you're Brazilian, cope.
Zelligism - Liberalism means a shared ideal of democracy, individualism, equality, capitalism and liberty, you can remove one of those but you will still be a liberal at the end of the day. And I also think humanity was destined to have authority figures, since if we didn't had any form of authority, we would have killed ourselves and lead to a state of forever chaos. 
Thomas Hobbes had a great argument about a stateless society way before Anarchism, and it's still relevant to this day.
G-Man Toiletism - No race or ethnicity is superior, and you're pratically a Turkic Nazi. I know you're satire.- File:GmanToilet.png - I'm actually Estonian (Uralic), but still, glory to Turan.
Venatrixism - Much dislike. Never liked Bordiga nor Council Communism, and I say the same for the rest of the ideology.
Great British New Left - First of all, we disagree a lot on how the economy should operate - even if we both want the final outcome of helping the poor -, but you're acceptable for a socialist since you have a pragmatic outlook on economics. Secondly, we have similar views on the so-called "culture war", why should I care about a cartoon having a transgender character if there are people starving? Thirdly, your foreign policy is a bit based because you don't want United Kingdom to become a western/eastern puppet, but I would prefer to collaborate with both worlds. Fourthly, our notions of "liberal democracy" are different - your views are valid since most of the time of liberal democracy it has been dominated by bourgeoise with no regards to other systems, but I still believe it can be fixed. And lastly, while not being a master of culture, I still believe it's important for our lives and should change gradually according to the current time, and I don't think it's ideal for the state to interfere with culture that way. (5/10)
Distributist Reactionaryism - Brimstone reactionary lie.
- ↑ Even if I am not aligned with the Western World and wants to trade with both the political blocs (Western & Eastern Worlds), I stil believe Brazil should have a interventionist policy in South America - helping governments like Paraguay and Colombia to crush far-left terrorists and helping to bring Maduro's Regime down.
- ↑ Despite the icon I do not endorse genocide or human's rights violations, instead, I want to spread Brazil's influence through economic aid, free trade, infraestructure investments in our allies, military interventions to stop the spread of terrorism and treaties that benefit both parties. I know this isn't Real Imperialism but it's still the expansion of influence to other countries, which is automatically imperialist in my eyes
- ↑ I still hate Xenogenders and SJWs
