Radicalism

Radicalism (Rad) or Radical Liberalism (RadLib) was a historical set of movements within classical liberalism and represented the left-wing of the historical movement. Radical liberalism took principles behind liberalism and applied them to their conclusion (a.k.a. their 'root' or 'radix' and latin and therefore 'radicalism'),economically is centre to centre-right,Civically liberal and culturally progressive (specially in his more active years).

For example: A classical liberal might espouse that a democratic system of government and the right to vote should be given in turn a radical liberal would take such a statement to it's conclusion that being that women, those without property, immigrants, et cetera should all be given the right to vote. Radical liberals also supported positive rights where classical ones only advocated negative ones, radical liberals where historically the early advocates of welfare states.

Radical liberal movements declined during the latter half of the 19th century as socialism became the dominant ideology of the left, some radicals became much more moderate and became social liberals and liberal democrats while others joined the socialists and became liberal socialists. By modern standards 'radicalism' is not radical at all as the reforms made by radical liberals got accepted as the norm. In the modern day 'radical liberal' is mainly used as an insult.
