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 (or sometimes even  Neoliberalism) 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.

[[File:Whatifalthist.png]] Whatifalthistism
WhatIfalthistism is the culturally centre-right and  economically and  civilly liberal ideology of YouTuber Whatifalthist, also known as Rudyard Lynch.

Being a historian, his political opinions are primarily based on his interpretation of history, which is primarily a western centric, pro-American,  pro-Christian and  conservative perspective. Whilst he acknowledges these biases, he goes to great lengths in his videos to try to justify these conclusions through rigorous evidence and hard data.

Rudyard believes that the achievements of the west in the realms of living standards, human rights,  wealth,  technology,  women's rights, and  military power are immediately obvious, and is strongly opposed to the modern day 'self loathing' that  educated westerners have of themselves.

Rudyard is very anti-communist. He believes it should be obvious to anyone who looks at the data that attempts to establish communism have always failed, leading to totalitarianism, mass starvation, and economic stagnation, and that countries that embraced capitalism have ended up far wealthier. His personal economic views are fairly pro-markets, but attempts to be balanced when it comes to talking about leftist and  rightist perspectives. His views can be best described as Classically Liberal, believing strongly in economic freedom but also being against monopolisation. He's an admirer of Theodore Roosevelt and his break up of the robber barons. He has been accussed of being alt-right for his collaborations with Monsieur Z and his  anti-social justice views.
