Paternalistic Conservatism (PatCon) is a economically center to center-left policies, cuturally centre-right to right-wing ideology which combines 
social conservatism with 
economic interventionism, under the belief of 
Paternalism and 
Communitarianism. Consistent with principles such as duty, hierarchy and organicism, it can be seen an outgrowth of 
Traditionalist Conservatism. Paternalistic Conservatives support neither the individual nor the state in principle, but are instead prepared to support either or recommend a balance between the two depending on what is most practical thus making them civically moderate. Paternalistic Conservatism was first formed in the 19th century as a response to the social unrest of the industry revolution, which caused conservatives to move away from classical economics and individualism and start to advocate for more state intervention, regulation and support of the welfare state, before starting to embrace 
Neoliberal economics in the 80s after the rise of 
Margaret Thatcher. Patcons adopt policies similar to 
Social Democracy or a 
Social Market Economy.
History
France
Main article:Gaullism
Germany
Main article:Bismarckism
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.
In the May of 1863, back when Bismarck was the Prime Minister of Prussia sent a letter to the social democrat Ferdinand Lassalle which started a series of political meetings between the two.[4]
Poland
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.
United Kingdom
Main article:One-Nation Conservatism
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.
The 
Social Democratic Party in the UK has a similar outlook to that of a Paternalistic Conservative.
Peter Hitchens is a controversial writer and journalist known for his staunchly socially conservative views, such as being opposed to same-sex marriage and the trans community. As a former 
Socialist however, he still retains social democratic views on economics.
East Balkans 
In other European countries, such as 
Bulgaria and 
Romania, the major social democratic parties tend to incorporate social conservative and moderate nationalist/patriotic views into their platforms, and can as such be viewed as a form of paternalistic conservatism or conservative social democracy.
Ukraine
In Ukraine, PatCon can be seen in 
"Fatherland". Though the party officialy presents itself as 
liberal conservative, 
christian democratic and 
liberal nationalist, they support the expansion of social security, lifting the moratorium on land sales, are against the sale of agricultural land and strategic enterprises and even support raising tariffs for housing and communal services for the population, though previously the party was against the latter.
United States
William Jennings Bryan was an American politician who supported 
populist economic views, such as regulating corporations and free silver, while holding conservative social beliefs such as creationism and 
states' rights,although he strongly supported 
Women's suffrage He was running for presidency in 1896, 1900 and 1908 as a 
Democrat against 
William McKinley and 
William Howard Taft, respectively, but lost. He was also influenced by 
Jeffersonian Democracy.
Huey Long was another famous paternalistic conservative. Like Bryan, Long had populist economic views, expanding social programs, infrastructure, and education in Louisiana and proposing the famous “Share Our Wealth” program, which Long saw as a better alternative to the “insufficiently radical” New Deal. However, Long also implemented conservative and religious social policies, such as skirting the separation of church by supporting parochial schools and cracking down on “immoral” gambling dens across the state.
While the 
Republican Party have been primarily staunch supporters of 
Free-Market Capitalism and 
Fiscal Conservatism since the rise of 
Ronald Reagan, recently there has been a few who favor a more Communitarian and mildly state interventionist approach. The two prominent examples being Senator Josh Hawley and 
Fox News host Tucker Carlson, with the latter having criticised 
right-libertarian economics and having said "the free-market is not a religion".
The Democrats also have some politicians who are considered to be more conservative on social issues than economic ones and support some form of ideological Communitarianism, most commonly in 
rural areas. Notable examples include Joe Donnelly, 
Bob Casey Jr., and Jon Bel Edwards.
Italy
In Italy, some Paternalistic Conservatives resemblance can be found in "Left-leaning factions" of Lega Nord, Fratelli d'Italia and rarely in some people inside Forza Italia.
Ireland
Aontú is a political party in Ireland that carries syncretic politics carrying a socio-culturally conservative platform alongside a social market economy which has a heavy resemblance to the idea of paternalistic conservatism. The leader of the party is 
Peadar Tóibín.
Botswana
Paternalistic conservatism in Botswana exists in the form of the 
Botswana Democratic Party, which was founded by the country's first president and prime minister, Seretse Khama. Under Khama's leadership, the country went through fast economic growth and positive social changes. It remains the country's largest party in its National Assembly.
Argentina
Main article:Peronism
Peron, founder of the Justicialist Party, installed a sort of right-wing socialism in Argentina during his first period in the presidency, beginning in 1946. It combined generous Government welfare programs and a large economic role for the state with religious conservatism and respect for private property.
Shirley Christian, "Buenos Aires Journal; Carlos, Carlos, How Does Your Economy Sink?" 13 January 1990.
Brazil
In Brazil paternalistic conservatism can arguably be used to describe the policies of 
Getúlio Vargas before the Estado Novo and after being reelected, as he pushed for many social democratic policies such as welfare, higher minimum wage among other worker reforms while being both paternalistic and very conservative in his policies, in the modern day paternalistic conservatism can be seen in part manifested in some parts of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party like with presendential candidate João Doria, aside from that in Brazil social democratic economics tend to be popular while conservatism is too leading to paternalistic conservatism being a somewhat influential ideology in certain parts of the country, although recently the right has turned more to liberalism.
Beliefs
Although Paternalistic Conservatism is in favor of intervention in the economy when necessary it is not in favor of a command economy. Paternalistic Conservatism and Longism are currently the only two 
Authoritarian Left ideologies that do not identify as Socialist of any kind and should be portrayed being irritated when they are called that. Rather, their beliefs meant to provide an alternative to socialism with 
Populist economics. Paternalistic Conservatism and Longism both favor moderately regulated and populist market capitalism with a moderate to strong welfare state. Culturally, Longism is influenced by biblical teachings while Paternalistic Conservatism can vary in its support of religious institutions (most of the time, however, there is strong support for religious institutions from Paternalistic Conservatism).
Personality
PatCon will act a bit of a "conservative boomer" as compared to other Social-Democratic balls and emphasizes on acting proper and hard-working.
Ironically he calls his dad socdem a boomer because of how boomers created the hippies. He does the same for conservative leaning neoliberals.
