Technoliberalism

Technoliberalism, or TechLib is a centrist ideology leaning on the libertarian right quadrant. They believe in the ideals of liberty, self-awareness, individuality, decentralization and responsibility while developing technologies that are available to the general public and the five core interests of technoliberalism such as the construction of government, environmentalism, economics, education and science and civil liberties.

History
In the book Technoliberalism and the End of Participatory Culture in the United States, Adam Fish describes technoliberalism as the belief that network technologies reduce the contradictions of a society that nurtures both the free market of Classical Liberalism and the social welfare of  Social Liberalism.

At the heart of the philosophy of technoliberalism as a belief and movement is "a predominant belief in technology, a suspicion of traditional modernist institutions, and the belief that the cumulative consequences of individual involvement in technology will generate social benefits." The main beliefs of this ideology correspond to five main interests: Construction of the Government, education and science, economics, environment and  civil liberties. They include:

 * [[File:Regulationism.png]] Free markets with strict rules.
 * Fair taxation, especially for big companies.
 * [[File:Ectrans.png]] Protecting the planet by strictly regulating the damage to the environment
 * The power of small and medium businesses.
 * [[File:FDF-Pirate.png]] Freedom of speech and communication technologies.
 * Emphasis on technological advances, not on the status quo.

How to Draw
Like Technocracy, TechLib is simple to draw.
 * 1) Draw a ball.
 * 2) Draw a yin-yang symbol in light grey and dark midnight blue.
 * 3) Draw in the eyes.

You're done!
