Liberalism

"Not to be confused with Progressivism."

Liberal Democracy (LibDem) or just Liberalism (Lib) is a non-quadrant,  culturally left ideology which is regarded as being the dominant ideology within "the Western world" (Europe, The Americas and Oceania). He is also dominant in some countries in Africa, although most African countries usually are social democratic or  authoritarian. There is not much liberalism in Asia.

Beliefs
Though liberalism is rather vaguely defined, and its definition alters depending on when and where the term is used, it is typically associated with values such as multiparty democracy,  civil liberties,  secularism,  progressivism,  internationalism, and a  market-based economy.

What separates Liberal Democracy from Classical Liberalism is an emphasis on social justice and social equality as compared with its predecessor. Liberalism tends to support moderate means-tested welfare targeted at the poor to ensure people can meet basic human needs. He, also with his dad, Classical Liberal, influences a lot of liberal ideologies.

Personality
Liberalism is often shown getting easily angered or "triggered" by others and is shown to not be the biggest fan of violence. He is often schooled in debates.

However, he also has a secretive, wiser side that often acts philosophical and just.

How to Draw
Lib_flag.svg Liberalism's design is based on a flag designed by u/Aransentin on r/neoliberal. The golden circle represents the world with the bars representing the invisible hand of the free market reaching around.
 * 1) Draw a ball with Eyes
 * 2) Make it blue (preferably (#006aa7) shade of blue)
 * 3) Draw a golden/yellow circle (#ffd700) and then make dents in it of the blue color. (Symbolizes the world being held by the invisible hand of the market)

You're done.
