Average liberal democracy enjoyer.

This page is work in progress, I suppose. Test results on the right side.

Economy
In an ideal system, I believe we should maximize civil and economic liberty through reform while staying within the boundaries of the German-style social market economy. I oppose bureaucracy and  overregulation, as I think it gets in the way of progress and growth.

[[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]]Free Trade[[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]]
Free trade is preferable to protectionism. The only exception I'd put would be for products from dubious places in general.

[[File:Socdem.png]]Healthcare[[File:Socdem.png]]
The healthcare sector must remain public at all costs. A system such as in the US would be truly nightmarish.

[[File:Regulationism.png]]Taxation[[File:Regulationism.png]]
Taxation sure as hell ain't theft (cope, ancaps, ecks dee). It should be mildly progressive. I'm against the government wasting taxpayers' money for stupid projects no one asked for, but that's rather easy to say.

It is rather beneficial to keep taxes generally low for the populace and moderately high for big corps.

[[File:Welf.png]]Social Welfare[[File:Welf.png]]
Welfare is usually a better mean of helping out the disadvantaged than private charity. That, however, doesn't mean I want the welfare state to be expanded. It's better if we slowly dismantle (but not fully eradicate) the welfare state and promote self-reliance instead.

Society and Culture
I am culturally liberal for the most part, favouring equal rights and opportunities for people regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality or anything else. I support the legalisation of cannabis, though I'm a bit more skeptical of harder drugs.

[[File:Nation.png]]Nationalism and Patriotism[[File:Modnat.png]]
I endorse patriotism, as it is not only natural, but also for the sake of national cohesion. But I reject the ideology of nationalism, it usually ranges from a populistic pest to straight up chauvinism.

[[File:Civlibert.png]]Freedom of Speech[[File:Civlibert.png]]
Freedom of speech must be guaranteed by the government, and hate speech largely falls under free speech, though I disdain it on a personal basis. The only restrictions I'd put on free speech would be:

1. Holocaust denial,

2. Organising, or actively calling for violence.

Foreign Policy
I am rather pacifistic and non-interventionist in my ideal foreign policy, but in regards to diplomacy and geopolitics, I view the  West  as the lesser of the two evils when compared with its     opposition.

[[File:World.png]]Alliances[[File:World.png]]
I strongly support the European Union and  NATO.

[[File:Anat.png]]Open Borders[[File:Anat.png]]
Maybe? I guess the Schengen Zone already exists where I live. Though it's better for a nation to open up its borders after reducing the welfare state's size, for people who are just genuine freeloaders and who refuse to work.

Eh
