Social Liberalism

Social Liberalism (SocLib) also called Left-Liberalism (LeftLib), Modern Liberalism (ModLib), Welfare Liberalism (WelLib) and New Liberalism (NewLib) is an economically center-right to center-left, civically liberal, and culturally progressive political ideology which combines elements of liberal democracy with  economic interventionism as means of "ensuring economic justice as well as civil liberty".

History
Social Liberalism started in the United Kingdom as a trend within the Liberal Party that strayed away from laissez-faire economics, accepting certain market regulations, and moved more towards a social welfare system and from the more traditional classical liberal deontological view of morality to a more utilitarian view of morality based on the philosophy of Jeremy Bentham.

The most influential figure behind the move towards this kind of liberalism is the English philosopher John Stuart Mill, who believed in certainly free markets along with welfare systems to assure equal opportunities.

Beliefs
SocLib believes in modestly regulated capitalism with a large social safety net in a similar vein to Social Democracy. Unlike more leftist ideologies, however, SocLib believes that it's best for such a system to have taxes and regulations low enough to create as much tax revenue as realistically possible for the social programs while also providing as much economic freedom to the people as is practical.

Personality
Social Liberalism acts like a stereotypical western urban/suburban middle-class millennial.
