Conservative Socialism

Conservative Socialism, sometimes called ConSoc for short, is an economically left-wing, culturally right-wing ideology, statist and patriotic or nationalist ideology inhabiting the centre of the AuthLeft quadrant. He supports a socialist economy where the means of production are either directly owned by the workers or by a worker's state, in combination with support for conservatism and traditional values. He believes a socialist society is the best way to maintain these values as capitalism breeds degeneracy and that true social communitarianism cannot exist without economic collectivism.

Personality
ConSoc's personality is a combination of personality traits of other socialist and conservative ideologies. He is dedicated to fighting for the liberation of the working class in the face of capitalist oppression, however, he is conservative-minded and maintains a high respect for family values and traditional cultural institutions. He is happy to discuss the moral stagnation of society with his fellow conservatives, yet frequently gets into heated arguments as soon as economics is brought up. He is highly critical of modern, more progressive left-wing movements, which he views as "infested with RadLibs (radical liberals)" and a betrayal of the fight for working-class liberation. ConSoc can sometimes be depicted in a manner similar to stereotypes of older Russians and Eastern Europeans nostalgic for the socialist era. When depicted alongside National Bolshevism, ConSoc is presented as the more moderate, down-to-earth and level-headed of the two.

How to draw
Drawing ConSoc is fairly simple:
 * 1) Draw a ball.
 * 2) Fill the ball with red (#ff0000).
 * 3) Draw 3 white stars in the middle of the ball.
 * 4) Add the eyes and you're done!

 * [[File: Long.png]] Longism - My American SocDem variant, although I'm open to being more leftist on economics.
 * [[File: Leftnat.png]] Left-Wing Nationalism - Maybe he's a little more culturally progressive, but we agree on a lot of economic issues and nationalism is based.
 * [[File: Christsoc.png]] Christian Socialism - Based. Need I say more?

Frenemies

 * [[File: Dsa.png]] Democratic Socialism - Good economic takes, cringe progressiveness.
 * [[File: Socdem.png]] Social Democracy - Collectivism needs social conservatism damn it. You're almost neolib with some more welfare.
 * [[File: ML.png]] Marxism–Leninism - Drop the internationalism and your modern followers are too culturally left. You should have embraced the return to conservatism in WWII.
 * [[File: Strasser.png]] Strasserism - Not exactly the direction I'm going for, too extremely right socially.
 * [[File: Conserv.png]] Conservatism - You're trying to fight degeneracy while upholding an economic system that breeds degeneracy, you absolute buffoon!
 * [[File: Libcon.png]] Libertarian Conservatism - You have good conservative ideas but how do you expect to uphold such ideas with minimal state and a free market?
 * [[File: Libsoc.png]] Libertarian Socialism - Good economic takes but you're going to need a state to enforce these ideas. Good thing you're not as utopian as AnCom though.
 * [[File: Korwinism-Pikselart.png]] Korwinism - Yes, I am a conservative, and unlike you, I don't uphold an economic system that breeds degeneracy and hedonism. We both hate the EU and prefer China over the EU, albeit for different reasons. Social views are pretty based, though, and so is the idea of a monarch.

 * [[File: Ancom.png]] Anarcho-Communism - No I am not a Nazbol or even a Fascist and please don't punch me you insane fuck! Can't you see we both hate capitalism you utopian drug addict?!?
