Paternalistic Conservatism

Paternalistic Conservatism shortened to PatCon, alternatively Conservative Social Democracy shortened to Consocdem is an economically centre-left, culturally centre-right and usually statist ideology.

PatCon believes in a strongly regulated Capitalism 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.

In the United Kingdom
Paternalistic Conservatism originally stems from the United Kingdom in the 1840's from the works of Benjamin Disraeli and from the wider One-Nation Conservative movement, although who did not gain significant power until the 1870's. Disraeli's terms in office can be said to be the Britain's first real shift away from laissez-faire economics and it's modern welfare system.

Another major moment in the history of British paternalistic conservatism is the post-war consensus between the Labour and Conservative Parties, which was an agreement between the both parties to both support Keynesian economic policies and the welfare state.

In Germany
In Germany, the paternalistic conservative movement primarily stems from the policies of Otto von Bismarck as the chancellor of the German Empire, mostly in the 1880's. These being insurance-based welfare systems outlined in Health Insurance, Accident Insurance, Old age and disability insurance, Worker's protection and Children's Protection acts of 1883, 1884, 1889, 1891 and 1903 respectively.

Other countries
In Poland there's a strong divide between conservative view of economic policy, both of them being generally based on an opposition to  communism of the previous PRL era. The primary of those while favouring a somewhat capitalistic economy that is very strongly controlled by the state, expressed by the Law and Justice Party, and the secondary one favoring laissez-faire economics, as expressed by the Konfederacja coalition.

In the United States paternalistic conservatives can be found in the factions of the  Republican Party, as well as in conservative factions of the  Democratic Party such as the Blue Dogs.

Beliefs
Paternalistic Conservatism and Longism are currently the two  Authoritarian Left 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 both favor heavily regulated and populist state capitalism. Culturally, Longism is moderate and while secular in its institutions, is influenced by the Bible while Patcon favors working with religious institutions when possible

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