Social Georgism

Social Georgism is an economically centre-left to left-wing, culturally left ideology combining the Georgist idea of a land value tax, (often as the primary source of public revenue), with the desire for a sustainable and highly developed welfare state, or sometimes a full on socialist economy.

Social Georgism is in essence a variant of Georgism which broadly covers most of the left wing of said movement, though primarily centre-left, closely linked to  Social Democracy. Any Georgists considering themselves left wing could potentially add the "Social" prefix, even though some of the rather specific ones have their own more or less fleshed out definitions, namely Geosyndicalism.

Georgism itself could be considered quite "social", however, the movement has always had a divide between strongly libertarian types and more statist labour activists. Social Georgism would tend to attract the latter kind; generally, though not always, people favouring using the taxes collected through LVT to fund welfare provided by the state rather than a citizen's dividend.

Very early on, Social Georgism got a child with Civic Nationalism in China, called  Tridemism, and they in turn almost succeeded in realising their shared ideals before they were thwarted by  Maoism.

Personality
SocGeo often attempts to compromise between different ideas, trying to reason with both left and right in an attempt to defend and advocate for the idea of a mixed economy while socializing the land values, to strengthen both the society, free enterprise, and the return to labor.

She's also strongly opposed to privatisation of vital public infrastructure and unregulated exploitation of natural resources.

Depending what mood she's is in, she can draw varying degrees of inspiration from her parent Social Democracy and their other relatives on that side of the family.
