Conservative Liberalism

"Not to be confused with Liberal Conservatism."

Conservative Liberalism (ConLib) is an economically center-right to right-wing, civically liberal and culturally center-right to right-wing ideology which seeks to combine liberal values such as free markets, free trade, individual rights and freedom of speech with a more traditional and conservative stance on social and ethical matters. He takes influence from Classical Liberalism, although is slightly less radical and has a greater focus on positive liberty. Rather than being based on progressivism, ConLib's ideology combines liberalism with elements of classical philosophy (the common good, natural rights etc.), Christianity (natural law, social nature of man etc.) and ancient institutions (common law, social hierarchies etc.).

Some of the most notable figures within the Conservative Liberalism were philosophers like Edmund Burke and Alexis De Tocqueville who had believed in Classically Liberal ideas like free trade and conservative outlooks on fiscal, ethical and most social issues (Occasionally reforming only when seen fit).

Conservative Liberals also carry Civically Nationalist views like free movement on immigration (but against open borders and illegal immigration).

Conservative Liberalism understands and acknowledges that classical and medieval politics cannot be restored in the modern world thus distancing itself from Reactionarism.

Conservative Liberalism subscribes to ideas like a small welfare assistance to the lower earning brackets like the Negative Income Tax and Charter Schools rather than a large welfare state as it could be seen as excessively bureaucratic and inefficient.

Conservative Liberalism & Liberal Conservatism
Despite the confusing distinction and similarities with Liberal Conservatism they differ in the sense that Liberal Conservatives tend to be a more moderate in most positions while Conservative Liberals are slightly more radical and some-less statist as they wish to preserve traditional moral values and culture while making reforms occasionally when seen fit, thus varying culturally center-right to right wing.

Liberal Conservatism according to scholar Andrew Vincent, the premise of liberal conservatism is "economics is prior to politics" while Conservative Liberalism is focused on politics believing in ordered liberty under traditional morality and classical-culture with moderate influences from religion alongside economic liberalism.

Liberal Conservatism is related to modern Liberalism and  Conservatism while  Conservative Liberalism has its ideas attached to  Classical Liberalism with a lot of influence coming from  Classical Conservatism being seen as a fusion of the two.

The places they have similarity is their origin and the goal they have both ideas are inspired by the philosopher Edmund Burke where they wanted to incorporate a free market in which people can participate and create wealth free from bureaucratic interference.

Frenemies

 * [[File:Ancon.png]] Anarcho-Conservatism - Government bureaucracy might be inefficient but you're too extreme also I think you don't catch the irony of my work.
 * [[File:Authoritarian_Conservatism.png]] Authoritarian Conservatism - Well, this is awkward...
 * [[File:Patcon.png]] Paternalistic Conservatism - You are culturally right and you might not exactly be a [[File: Soc.png]] socialist but still your love for the state is abhorrent and we have too many differences in economics.
 * [[File:Natcon.png]] National Conservatism - Usually a good ally of mine who emphasizes on national values, even though he's very statist and can get very fanatical. Please leave NatLib alone.
 * [[File: Necon.png]] Neoconservatism - Wish they'd focus more on conserving our values rather than intervening in foreign affairs. Bombing the Middle East didn't solve anything. However, Mr. Reagan was a hero!
 * [[File:Consocf.png]] Conservative Socialism - Despite your economic views, your defense of conservatism can redpill your socialist brothers.
 * [[File:Lib.png]] Liberalism (Mainly in USA) - Oh dear... What had happened to you and why you've stopped deriving ideas from [[File:Clib.png]] him. At least there's still some good amount of influence left.
 * [[File: Neoliberal-icon.png]] Neoliberalism - I ain't too sure about you. We both like free trade but something about you just seems... off. Lady Thatcher was still great though.
 * [[File: Soclib.png]] Social Liberalism - Typical progressive welfarist, but at least still cares about free markets to some extent.

 * [[File:Reactlib.png]] Reactionary Liberalism - A more extreme version of both me and [[File:Nalib.png]] NatLib who says some extremely questionable things. I sometimes wonder if he's even a liberal in the first place.


 * [[File:Rpop-tinfoilhat.png]] Right-Wing Populism - You do a good job at promoting my values, policies and my candidates and I appreciate the support, even though you say some utter nonsense sometimes... Don't want to be rude, but you should know when to shut up sometimes. Just sayin'.
 * [[File:Altl.png]] Alt-Lite - Same as RightPop, although more questionable. Just stay away from [[File:Altr.png]] him and we'll be fine. That Jordan Peterson guy seems fine though.
 * [[File:Hamiltonianism.png]] Hamiltonianism - Hamilton was okay, I guess.
 * [[File:Monarch.png]] Monarchism - Just because I'm conservative, that doesn't mean necessarily that I like you! Be more like [[File:Conmon.png]] them and then we'll get along.
 * [[File:Korwinism-Pikselart.png]] Korwinism - Look, "friend", your support for conservative values, free markets and to some extent, civil liberties is based. But good lord, your reactionary, monarchist, anti-democratic stances as well as fanatical nationalism really creep me out!
