Conservative Socialism

Conservative Socialism, sometimes called ConSoc for short, is an economically left-wing, culturally right-wing ideology, statist and patriotic or nationalist ideology inhabiting the centre of the AuthLeft quadrant. He supports a socialist economy where the means of production are either directly owned by the workers or by a worker's state, in combination with support for conservatism and traditional values. He believes a socialist society is the best way to maintain these values as capitalism breeds degeneracy and that true social communitarianism cannot exist without economic collectivism.

Personality
ConSoc's personality is a combination of personality traits of other socialist and conservative ideologies. He is dedicated to fighting for the liberation of the working class in the face of capitalist oppression, however, he is conservative-minded and maintains a high respect for family values and traditional cultural institutions. He is happy to discuss the moral stagnation of society with his fellow conservatives, yet frequently gets into heated arguments as soon as economics is brought up. He is highly critical of modern, more progressive left-wing movements, which he views as "infested with RadLibs (radical liberals)" and a betrayal of the fight for working-class liberation. ConSoc can sometimes be depicted in a manner similar to stereotypes of older Russians and Eastern Europeans nostalgic for the socialist era. When depicted alongside National Bolshevism, ConSoc is presented as the more moderate, down-to-earth and level-headed of the two.

How to draw
Drawing ConSoc is fairly simple:
 * 1) Draw a ball.
 * 2) Fill the ball with red (#ff0000).
 * 3) Draw 3 white stars in the middle of the ball.
 * 4) Add the eyes and you're done!

 * [[File: Libsoc.png]] Libertarian Socialism - Good economic takes but you're going to need a state to enforce these ideas. Good thing you're not as utopian as AnCom though.

Enemies

 * [[File: Fash.png]] Fascism - No you aren't Leftist and I'm probably one of the only conservative ideologies to realise this but you take the cultural rightism way too far and worst of all you would want to kill me. I much prefer the Nazbol and the Strasserist to you!
