Paternalistic Conservatism

Paternalistic Conservatism shortened to PatCon is a political ideology which combines economically centre-left policies, usually reminiscent of Corporatism with a right-wing socio-cultural policy based on conservatism.

Paternalistic Conservatism originally stems from the United Kingdom in the 1840's from the works of Benjamin Disraeli and from the wider One-Nation Conservative movement, although who did not gain significant power until the 1870's. Disraeli's terms in office can be said to be the Britain's first real shift away from laissez-faire economics and it's modern welfare system.

Another major moment in the history of British paternalistic conservatism is the post-war consensus between the Labour and Conservative Parties, which was an agreement between the both parties to both support Keynesian economic policies and the welfare state.

Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom since July 2019 and a one-nation tory has rapidly increased government spending during the COVID-19 epidemic. According to the journalist Robert Peston the year 2020 in the U.K. was 'a whole year of an economy more socialised than at any point in British history.'

In Germany, the paternalistic conservative movement primarily stems from the policies of Otto von Bismarck as the chancellor of the German Empire, mostly in the 1880's.

Other countries
In Poland there's a strong divide between conservative view of economic policy, both of them being generally based on an opposition to  communism of the previous PRL era. The primary of those while favouring a somewhat capitalistic economy that is very strongly controlled by the state, expressed by the Law and Justice Party, and the secondary one favoring laissez-faire economics, as expressed by the Konfederacja coalition.

In other Eastern European countries, such as Bulgaria and  Romania, the major social democratic parties tend to incorporate social conservative and moderate nationalist/patriotic views into their platforms, and can as such be viewed as a form of paternalistic conservatism or conservative social democracy.

In the United States, Paternalistic Conservatives can be found in the factions of the  Republican Party, two prominent examples being Senator Josh Hawley and Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

In the Nordic Countries,  Right-Wing Populist parties such as  Sweden Democrats, Finns Party and Danish People's Party all strongly support the welfare state and centre-left socio-economics while advocating conservative and highly nationalist social views. They believe welfare benefits should only be restricted to indigenous citizens, which observers refer to as "Welfare Chauvinism".

Beliefs
Paternalistic Conservatism and Longism are currently the two  Authoritarian Left ideologies that do not identify as  Socialist of any kind and should be portrayed being irritated when they are called that, their beliefs meant to provide an alternative to socialism with  Populist economics. Paternalistic Conservatism and Longism both favor moderately regulated (government intervention when necessary) and populist market capitalism with a moderate to strong welfare state similar to the  Nordic Model. Culturally, Longism is moderate and while secular in its institutions, is influenced by the Bible while Paternalistic Conservatism favors working with religious institutions when possible. Although Paternalistic Conservatism is in favor of intervention in the economy when necessary it is not in favor of a command economy.

Personality
PatCon will act a bit of a "conservative boomer" as compared to other Social-Democratic balls and emphasizes on acting proper and hard-working.

Ironically he calls his twin brother socdem a boomer because of how boomers created the hippies. He does the same for conservative leaning neoliberals.
