Radical Centrism

Radical Centrism, shortened to RadCent is a term used to describe any ideology which advocates for radical change and measures, while neither aligning or being discernible as Left-wing or Right-Wing (also neither as Libertarian or Authoritarian). Radical Centrism can be used to represent Syncretism, although Syncretic Politics usually reject the political dichotomy entirely while RadCent aligns in the middle of it.

The essence of Radical Centrism can be described as believing that all ideologies (usually within the status quo of course) have "some good ideas" and therefore it is the job of a good state to pick out the good ideas and not pick the bad ones from the various ideologies in a vein that balances into the centre.

Personality
RadCent when in contact with other (usually status quo) ideologies will try to get them to "peacefully talk it out" and will often try to make compromises between them (often unsuccessfully). Although he can be quite commanding in the presence of other hard center ideologies when he needs due to being moderately (get it?) more coherent than other centrist ideologies.

How to Draw

 * 1) Draw a ball with eyes.
 * 2) Fill it Grey.
 * 3) "Carve out" 4 arrows from the 4 cardinal directions of the ball pointing towards the centre of the ball.
 * 4) Separate each arrow into 2 parts around the center of each arrow.
 * 5) Fill the sections of the ball with the color of each of the political compass that corresponds to the relative area on the political compass.

Political Compass
Like some Centrist ideologies, Radical Centrism is on the exact center.
