National Liberalism

"Not to be confused with National Libertarianism and  Liberal Nationalism."

National Liberalism, also known as the Liberalist Movement, is an economically centre-right to right-wing, civically slightly to moderately libertarian, culturally center-right to right and nationalist ideology that is the child of Classical Liberalism and  Nationalism. He is also fairly similar to his brother, Civic Nationalism, although Civic Nationalist is usually more moderate. In contrast to National Conservatism, he holds liberal stances on economics, civic liberties and usually on social issues such as LGBT+ rights, drug use or abortion, but is very nationalistic when it comes to things like immigration or Islam and is critical of many modern-day  progressive movements.

Origin
To many people's surprise, National Liberalism has been around for some time now as his origin can be dated back to 19th century's Central Europe, noticeably within modern day Germany and  Austria, where  liberal supporters were often also the advocators of  nationalistic ideas such as the creation of German state. In fact, some of today's German political parties can trace their root directly to National Liberal Party, the first political party which was officially build around such ideology.

Development
Today, while not many central-to-right liberal political parties or their factions officially announce their ideology as National Liberalism (keep that in mind, as most of them commonly identify as Right-Populist or  National Conservative), its ideas and practices can still be seen in many of them. While not all of them have the similar opinion or practices on issues such as environment (although most of them are not that pro-industrialist as their earlier counterparts) or LGBT+ rights, they still share some noticeable characters such as importance of national identity, stricter immigration laws, anti-globalization and limited state intervention/cooperation with private departments. Some modern anti-globalization political movements are also often categorized as National Liberal, with Brexit as perhaps the most noticeable example.

Third Camp is a term used in Austria for pan-Germanist national liberals, in contrast to the country's other two major political forces: Christian Democrats (ÖVP) and Social Democrats (SPÖ). Today, the main representative of this tradition is the Freedom Party of Austria. Historically it was a center-right party and had liberal stances, despite the fact that it was founded by former Nazis. Its former leader Norbert Steger wanted it to be the Austrian version of German Free Democratic Party. However since 1986 the party became more populist and shifted to the far-right, becoming primarily national conservative under the leadership of Jörg Haider. Some liberal factions still exist inside of it.

After Haider abandoned the FPÖ in 2005, he founded Aliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ). After his death in 2008, the party moved to a more moderate position, being more liberal in economic and social issues, such as privatization, reduction of bureaucracy, abolishing conscription, willingness to accept same-sex marriage, while also still having some noticeably tough stances against immigration and the  EU, thus being viewed as the moderate version of the FPÖ.

Likud (The Consolidation) has its roots in the Revisionist Zionism by Ze'ev Jabotinsky, as well as in liberal and nationalist ideology. Immediately after the creation of Israel, the Herut (Freedom) party was founded, which was joined in 1961 by the Libralim organization (Liberals) in the Gahal electoral bloc, which was the main force of the opposition.

In economic policy, the party advocates for economic liberalism (as it is a traditional rival to the Labor Party), but also for a very pronounced nationalist rhetoric. On paper they advocate for free market capitalism, but in practise they have adopted a mixed economy.

In cultural policy, the party advocates both free enterprise and nationalism, but sometimes it compromises these ideals in practice because the support for populist economic programs does not meet these ideals. But it is designed to serve voters who are mostly nationalists, low-income and live in small towns and urban neighborhoods.

Under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu, the party has shifted more towards populism.

Many former Likud MK's have founded splinter parties, such as Kadima (Forward) and New Hope.

[[File:Cball-Netherlands.png]] Netherlands
Pim Fortuyn was a Dutch politician and author, originally a Marxist and then a  social democrat, his views ended up closer to  classical liberalism. He rose to prominence because of his criticism of the purple coalition government of Wim Kok and the "Islamification" of the Netherlands. Despite being labelled as far-right by opponents, Fortuyn portrayed himself as a defender of civil liberties and liberal values against Islam such as LGBT and women rights, with him being openly gay. In 2002 he was assassinated by a left-wing environmentalist activist, becoming sort of a martyr for the Dutch far-right.

In 2006 right-populist Geert Wilders emerged as a successor to Fortuyn. Founding the Party for Freedom (PVV), an even more overtly anti-islam party, with Wilders outright calling it a "fascist religion". Like Fortuyn, Wilders has described himself as a "right-wing liberal" and a defender of gay and women's rights against Islam. However since the early 2010s he seems to have diverted from economic liberalism and now voices more support for welfare state programs, abit restricted to born-Dutch citizens, which commentators have described as Welfare Chauvinism.

The more recent Forum for Democracy party has attracted similar national liberal factions and is also influenced by Fortuyn. However a majority of them have now left due to the party having more closer ties to the Alt-Right and  Neo-Nazis, going off to form splinter parties such as JA21.

JA21 is a party formed formed in late 2020, consisting of former moderate-wing FvD members as a response to FvD's closer ties to the Alt-Right. It classifies itself as a "proper" right-wing party, aiming to fill the gap between mostly centrist VVD and populist   PVV.

Progress Party (originally Anders Lange's Party for a Strong Reduction in Taxes, Duties and Public Intervention) was founded in 1973 as an anti-tax movement inspired by Mogen Gilstrup's party of the same name. Erik Gjems-Onstad, an anti-Nazi ex-combatant was also a member of this party and after Lange's death he took the leadership of the party but he abandoned the party in 1976. After that he was in different right-nationalist parties  until 2007. He advocated for stricter immigration laws and reduction of it (being his main topic in his whole political career), at the same time he advocated for the abolition of conscription, separation of the church and state, liberalization of gun possession and less regulations and taxes.

[[File:Cball-UK.png]] United Kingdom
UK Independence Party or UKIP for short, is a hard Eurosceptic party famously led by Nigel Farage. While commonly regarded as a Right-Populist and  National Conservative party, it has been influenced by  Classical Liberalism in terms of economics and to some extent civic issues, with a large amount of it's original voter base being  libertarians. Though the party holds mostly conservative views on social issues like LGBT rights or crime, it has also supported more legalization of drug use.

Reform UK (formerly Brexit Party) was founded by Nigel Farage as a spiritual successor to UKIP, after the far-right takeover of the party. Even describing the party as "classical liberal" in it's constitution.

British Anti-SJW youtuber Carl Benjamin aka Sargon of Akkad has consistently called himself a  classical liberal, despite his strong support of  conservative and  nationalist movements such as Brexit. More recently he has coined the phrase "liberalist" to describe himself, differentiating from the progressive left-liberals he mocks.

Personality
NatLib's favorite hobby is discussing political events (especially if it's something "dumb" done by progressives — although he does take some of their advice from time to time) on YouTube or other online communities, usually with other right-wing ideologies.

While being fairly open minded to some social issues, he often holds rather suspicious attitude toward people that are not his citizens. His preferences of anti-globalization and stricter immigration laws, as well as his sympathy towards more far-right Ideologies often brought him to conflicts with his more central-to-left relatives, especially  Neoliberalism.

He also hates it when being censored online for his views, constantly bringing up how he should have "Free-Speech".
