Paternalism is a social and political philosophy emphasizing positivity in the government having a role in nudging people towards the right direction. Paternalist policy is defined as government action which limits an individual's or group's autonomy which is intended for their own good.

Personality

Paternalism is very protective and treats everyone like they're it's children, much to the dismay of many of them.

• Welfarism - Sometimes people just need a little help.
• Authoritarian Conservatism - Looks good to me.
• Paternalistic Conservatism - It's in the name.
• Social Democracy - Progress demands a robust and caring state.
• Feudalism - Exercise chivalry and protect the weak, guide them to the right way.
• Old Left "Responsibility" should fall to the central planners top-down, not to the individual. This is fundamental.
• Stalinism - You collaborated with your Paternalistic peers in defeating Social-Darwinism despite not all of them finding your methods favorable so kudos to you for that at very least.
• New Deal Liberalism - A top-down intervening government to manage society and the economy with a large welfare state for people's own good is the way to go.
• Keynesian School - Top-down intervention in the economy is absolutely necessary for long-term growth.

Frenemies

• Fascism - While you may agree that everything is necessary to keep us safe, if you can drop your past links to Social-Darwinism from your alliance with Hitler I might trust you more.
• Fordism - You take it way too far.

Enemies

• Anarcho-Individualism - Stateless societies don't work, the state knows better than the individual.
• Classical Liberalism - Political power and paternal power are the same!
• Libertarianism - Don't tread!? I'm saving you from treading on yourself!
• Neoliberalism - You've created a world that values selfish dog-eat-dog individualism and blaming vulnerable individuals for their suffering. You are doing exactly what Social-Darwinism wants ever since you've dismantled the New Deal.
• Social Darwinism - Awful stuff, all humans are worth living! So many of us died to stop you during World War 2!
• Avaritionism - That chainsaw is too dangerous, put it down!
• New Left - I say you are an utter disgrace compared to your Paternalistic predecessor and are nothing but a puppet of the anti-paternalist neoliberals. This new individualist approach to the left that you promote harms the vulnerable people you claim to stand for.
• Third Way - I think you want the vulnerable members of society neglected and homeless under the guise of preaching tolerance.
