Classical Conservatism

From Polcompball Wiki

Classical Conservatism, also called Traditionalist Conservatism, is a type of conservative that focuses on traditions stemming from before File:Enlightnenment.png the enlightenment philosophy.

ClassCons emphasize the need for the principles of a transcendent moral order, the bonds of social order, and the defense of ancestral institutions over what they consider as excessive individualism.

They also place a strong emphasis on authority and tradition among other things. Civically speaking, the ideology can vary between moderately authoritarian (most ClassCons) to somewhat libertarian (Powell, for example).

Despite being culturally right, they are generally neither nationalist (with the exception of Enoch Powell) nor reactionary (although the latter is debatable).

History

Classical Conservatism, or rather Toryism can be said to originate in late 17th-century England, in which there was a dispute over the right of the Catholic James, brother of the King Charles II, to succeed the throne. Those who supported James were known as Tories, and their ideology Toryism. Tories were generally staunch monarchists and Anglicans, and favoured agrarianism over industrialism, in addition to being opposed to radical reform such as that advocated for by   Foxites.

  •   Capitalism - Sir, I am not so sure...
  •   Nationalism - ...maybe?
  •   Conservative Socialism - Socialism? I beg your pardon?

  •   Reactionary Socialism - Another socialist I can tolerate.
  •   Classical Liberalism - My good, ole rival! I have to admit, though, you are definitely better than that modern liberal doofus.
  •   Reactionary Liberalism - Another tolerable liberal, if I may say so myself, but like any reactionary blokes, he can go too far culturally.
  •   Liberal Conservatism - Low Tory rubbish, but I have hope that they will prove me wrong.
  •   Right-Wing Populism - Good Lord, they are annoying... but I do admit they have all the right ideas.
  •   National Liberalism - That Nigel Farage is "based" as they say nowadays, but the rest of them are too nationalist and not traditionalist enough, to my dismay.
  •   Ricardian Socialism - Percy Ravenstone was a delightful fellow; however, I must say you are far too well-acquainted with this preposterous notion of "egalitarianism."
  •   Alt-Right - Young man, you have some good ideas, but bloody hell, get off the Internet and go outside! It is making you a really odd bloke.
