Progressive Conservatism

Progressive Conservatism (ProgCon) is an opposite unity ideology that is the unity of the moderate cultural left and  cultural right.

Additionally, "progressive conservatism" can refer to an ideology that supports social reform and change but emphasizes the necessity of progressing in a way that preserves traditions, and believes that instant change can be damaging to society so progress must occur slowly and gradually. This belief is often combined with the idea of a limited and obligatory government that only steps in when necessary. Progressive Conservatism can also manifest itself in beliefs such as that traditional values are compatible, or even complimentary with, the march to social equality.

A type of progressive conservativism could be arguably applied to various left-wing anti-colonial movements that seek to revive certain traditions while also promoting social progress, such as Indigenism,  Indigenous Anarchism or  Anarkata, which tend to promote social progress within the context of Indigenous traditional structures. They argue that social progress is inherent to their traditional ways depending on the context, or seeking to protect indigenous traditions from imperialism, alongside promoting socially progressive ideas and promoting co-existence between those ideals. Although this identification is debatable and can still be compared to typical Culturally Left political ideas.

[[File:C. S. Lewis.png]] C. S. Lewis Thought
C. S. Lewisism is based of the the ideas of the thought of Clive "Jack" Staples Lewis, a British author, scholar, and christian apologist. Lewis didn't touch on party politics often, but he would occasionally revile his unique views on various political issues. Lewis was socially conservative about most social issues, but was economically in favor of welfare programs and was anti-consumerist. Above all else, he was deeply suspicious of government involvement in peoples daily lives. Take for example the quote bellow from Mere Christianity.

"All the same, the New Testament, without going into details, gives us a pretty clear hint of what a fully Christian society would be like. Perhaps it gives us more than we can take. It tells us that there are to be no passengers or parasites: if man does not work, he ought not to eat. Every one is to work with his own hands, and what is more, every one's work is to produce something good: there will be no manufacture of silly luxuries and then of sillier advertisements to persuade us to buy them. And there is to be no "swank" or "side," no putting on airs. To that extent a Christian society would be what we now call Leftist. On the other hand, it is always insisting on obedience—obedience (and outward marks of respect) from all of us to properly appointed magistrates, from children to parents, and (I am afraid this is going to be very unpopular) from wives to husbands [...] If there were such a society in existence and you or I visited it, I think we should come away with a curious impression. We should feel that its economic life was very socialistic and, in that sense, "advanced," but that its family life and its code of manners were rather old-fashioned—perhaps even ceremonious and aristocratic. Each of us would like some bits of it, but I am afraid very few of us would like the whole thing.”

Lewis was generally very skeptical of what he called “chronological snobbery” or the view that ideas and movements from the past must be infriorior on the grounds that they are from the past. Lewis claims that old ways of thinking are neither inherently better or worse, and we must try and understand why something went out of fashion before we dismiss it.

Other issues on which Lewis was outspoken was his advocacy for just war theory, his dislike of nuclear armaments, and his concern for animal welfare.

[[File:Nordcon.png]] Nordic Conservatism
Nordic Conservatism is an ideology that comes from Nordic parties and politicians who call themselves conservative, but adopt socially liberal policies. The main examples are various member parties of the Conservative Group and currently Norway follows this model.
 * [[File:Cball-Norway.png]] Norway- Norway is an example of conservative progressivism, as it is a constitutional monarchy, has Christianity as its official religion, preserves Nordic culture and programs of family protection, but also has guidelines such as multiculturalism, one of the best to be LGBTQIA+, social assistance, liberalism in the prison issue and technological and social progress.
 * [[File:Liberalconservative.png]] Conservative Group - The Conservative Group is a group composed of conservative parties in the Nordic countries, some of which are really conservative like Moderate Party (Sweden) and People's Party (Faroe Islands), but most parties are Progressive Conservatives, being:
 * Non-aligned Coalition: Non-aligned Coalition is a party from the Åland islands that emerged in 1987 and has participated in Åland legislature elections. The ideals are based on moderate conservatism and greater autonomy for Åland, in addition to Eurosceptism.
 * Høyre: Høyre is a Norwegian party whose current leader is former Prime Minister Erna Solberg. The party was one of those responsible (along with the Labor party) for making Norway co-found NATO. The party is openly progressive conservative and liberal conservative, in which it defends the military and the state church, but also defends LGBT rights and socially liberal policies. On the economic issue, they advocate Economic Liberalism, tax cuts, the Nordic Model and social welfare services.
 * Conservative People's Party: Conservative People's Party is a Danish party founded in 1915 and is considered to be center-right. The party advocates civil and individual liberties and decentralization, a free market economy and private property, and a strong environmental policy.
 * National Coalition Party: National Coalition Party is a Finnish party led by Petteri Orpo founded in 1918. Its ideals are more left-wing compared to Høyre, in which it defends LGBT rights, immigration and multiculturalism, but unlike Høyre, he is pro-EU. Economically, it is similar to Høyre.

Turgunievismo is an ideology based on the views of youtuber and programmer Peter Turguniev. Turguniev is an anarcho-capitalist and supporter of the Austrian school, being pro-Bitcoin and a strong opponent of Latino left-wing leaders. He is a strong supporter of Jair Bolsonaro, making him called "Anarco-Bolsonarita", also being a Covid-19 denialist, in which he went out on the streets without a mask at the height of the pandemic and supporting chloroquine and the stance of the then president. He also had some accusations of spreading conspiracy theories, being a follower of Olavo de Carvalho. He is also a denier of climate change and environmental destruction, in which he claims it would be used as a pretext to establish a socialist dictatorship. Currently he was strongly against Russia in the invasion of Ukraine and supporting Zelensky and criticizing Biden's stance. Other ideals would be gender equality, but opposing modern feminism, appreciation for technologies, opposition to homophobia being pro-LGBT (his video about X-men) and in favor of Bolsonaro's agrarian measures.
