Paternalistic Conservatism

Paternalistic Conservatism shortened to PatCon, alternatively Right-Wing Social Democracy shortened to RightSocDem is an Economically Centre-Left, Culturally Centre-Right and usually statist ideology.

PatCon believes in a strongly regulated capitalist welfare state in the vein of his mother co-existing with a culturally conservative society with conservative norms usually enforced by the state. PatCon will usually believe that this arrangement is complimentary.

PatCon was first born in the United Kingdom in the middle 19th century due to a change in the Tory party due because One-Nation Conservatism arguing the party needed to adapt economically left-wing policies as to attract the working-class vote and as not to "disunite the country".

PatCon then moved to Germany, when the conservatism there decided that as a way to stop SocDem from getting into power he should adopt some of their policies, in this stage of his life he was known as "Bismarckian Socialism".

Since then PatCon has been in Factions within Conservative, Christian Democratic and SocDem parties.

Paternalistic Conservatism, Distributism, and Longism are currently the three authleft ideologies that do not identify as socialist of any kind and should be portrayed being irritated when they are called that, their beliefs meant to provide an alternative to socialism with populist economics. Paternalistic Conservatism and Longism favor heavily regulated and populist state capitalism while Distributism favors guilds, co-ops, and family-owned enterprises. Longism is culturally moderate and while secular in its institutions, is influenced by the Bible. Patcon favors working with religious institutions when possible and Distributism is based on Catholic social teaching.

Personality
PatCon will act a bit of a "conservative boomer" as compared to other Social-Democratic balls.
