Liberalism

"Not to be confused with Progressivism and/or  Libertarianism."

Liberal Democracy (LibDem) or just Liberalism (Lib) is a centrist, usually  Culturally Center to  culturally left ideology (although there are also some  culturally right liberal ideologies like  Reactionary Liberalism,  Conservative Liberalism etc...) which is regarded as being the dominant ideology within the Western world. He is also dominant in some countries in Africa, although most African countries usually are social democratic or  authoritarian. There is not much liberalism in Asia and most of Eastern Europe, except in Taiwan.

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.

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
Lib_flag.svg Liberalism's design is based on a flag designed by u/Aransentin on r/neoliberal. The golden circle represents the world with the bars representing the invisible hand of the free market reaching around.
 * 1) Draw a ball with Eyes
 * 2) Make it blue (preferably (#006aa7) shade of blue)
 * 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)

You're done.

 * [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] Neoliberalism - Son, you helped preserve my ideas when the world was on the verge of forgetting them. You’re my primary ideological successor, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. You also know more about economics than any of my other children.

Frenemies

 * [[File:Prog.png]] Progressivism - I like your social values and you're currently the most successful cultural ideology in the First World, but hate it when people confuse me with you, also drop down the socialism stuff, please.
 * [[File:Liberalsoc.png]] Liberal Socialism - I like your dedication to liberal values, but socialism, I don't really like it... At least we both like attacking chuds on Twitter for holding different views though.
 * [[File:Nalib.png]] National Liberalism - I appreciate your support for civil liberties, but your nationalism scares me.
 * [[File:Antifa.png]] Anti-Fascism - Look, I'm an anti-fascist too, but can you stop being so violent and beating up anyone who disagrees with you? Why dedicate actual time to fighting people when we can go on Twitter and peacefully complain about it? (Also, I like capitalism, can't you see that just a few reforms in healthcare would make America better?)
 * [[File:Kemal.png]] 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.
 * [[File:ChiangKaiShek.png]] Chiang Kai-shek Thought - Lei Chen, Tsiang Tingfu, and Hu Shih supported you against the [[File:Mao.png]] commies, but why tf did you shut down the Free China Journal? Also, the white terror was mega cringe.
 * [[File:BoJo.png]] Borisism - Tbh, you confuse me a lot. Are you a libcon or a Trumpist? Brexit and right-wing populism are cringe, but at least you have some progressive social takes and centrist economic policies Ig. I still prefer the Lib Dems over you even though I support you against Corbyn the old twat.
 * [[File:Conserv.png]] Conservatism [[File:Con-t.png]] - Our relationship is pretty odd indeed. We constantly fight each other over cultural policies but in terms of economics, we are mostly chill.
 * [[File:LDP(Japan).png]] Japanese Liberal Democracy - Not the best example of my system but I have to admit you make Nippon country a better place.
 * [[File:Necon.png]] Neoconservatism and [[File:3way.png]] Third Way - Spread my ideals worldwide. But sometimes in a manner that scares me.

Enemies

 * [[File:Statlib.png]] State Liberalism - NO YOU ARE NOT A LIBERAL! YOU ARE A DESPOT WITH PINK PAINT!
 * [[File:Nazi.png]] National Socialism - Genocidal fascist maniac who killed tens of millions of innocent people.
 * [[File:ML.png]] Marxism–Leninism - A totally failed ideology that killed tens of millions.
 * [[File:Natbol.png]] National Bolshevism - Literally Nazi Communism. Now I've seen everything...
 * [[File:Euras.png]] Fourth Theory - Same as above.
 * [[File:Natcom.png]] National Communism - Moderate version of above.
 * [[File:Ultraprogressivism.png]] Revolutionary Progressivism - Cultural progressivism is fine, but good God, you're insane!
 * [[File:React.png]] Reactionarism - Why the f*ck do you want to return to the Dark Ages?!? You are just as insane as the guy above btw.
 * [[File:Merc.png]] Mercantilism - You've had your time, now I'm the status quo, deal with it!
 * [[File:Trumpism.png]] Trumpism - Ugh, disgusting. Please cool it with the reactionary populism.
 * [[File:Reactlib.png]] Reactionary Liberalism - Just because we have the same views on economics doesn't make you one of us.
 * [[File:Mao.png]] Maoism - Totalitarian genocidal commie who starved millions of his own people.
 * [[File: Stalin.png]] Stalinism - Same as the above, but somehow a bureaucratic nightmare.
 * [[File: Dengf.png]] Dengism - Better than Mao but never forget Tiananmen Square Massacre. I’ll also never forgive you for conducting a literal genocide in Xinjiang.
 * [[File:Putin.png]] Putinism - Just like I won't forgive you for invading Ukraine. Also, Navalny is right, You're a party of crooks and thieves!
 * [[File:Ilminism.png]] Ilminism - Why in god’s name did you always want to assassinate and prosecute my followers?
 * [[File:Juche.png]] Juche - And You too! North Korea turned into a totalitarian communist dystopia because of you!
 * [[File:Ottoman.png]] Neo-Ottomanism - Why are you trying to bring Turkey backward culturally and religiously and arrest thousands of people in the emergency and those journalists just because they criticized you? Turkey once held more journalists in custody than China. Your reactionary behaviors are just completely unacceptable. Atatürk was far better than you.
 * [[File:Awaj.png]] Anarchism - Without a state, there is no constitution and without a constitution is no right to consolidation.
 * [[File:Jihad.png]] Jihadism - Just leave me and everyone the f*ck alone, You fundamentalist terrorist!
 * [[File:Khom.png]] Khomeinism - You can't force everyone in your country to follow your ideas and women to wear hijabs. This is human rights abuse!
