==History==
===[[File:ProtoLib.png]] Proto-Liberalism [[File:Humanismpix.png]]===
Before the Enlightenment, classical thinkers such as [[File:Aristotle.png]] [[Scientocracy|Aristotle]] were considered proto-liberal for their support for private property in opposition to [[File:Platon.png]] [[Noocracy|Plato's]] collectivism, which is instead considered by liberals such as Karl Popper to be the precursor of totalitarianism.
WIP
The ancient Chinese writer [[File:Laozi.png]] [[Chinese Theocracy|Laozi]], founder of Taoism, has often been described as a libertarian who like liberals favored minimal government.
 
===[[File:Enlightenment.png]] Enlightenment [[File:JohnLocke.png]]===
<blockquote>''See: [[File:Enlightenment.png]] [[Enlightenment Thought]], [[File:Clib.png]] [[Classical Liberalism]]''</blockquote>
During the time of the Enlightenment which included the 17th and 18th centuries, a movement of scientists and philosophers going widespread all over Western Europe, [[file:JohnLocke.png]] [[Enlightenment Thought|John Locke]], an English philosopher and political theorist, who also contribute to medicine, revolutionized the system of liberty with his "Essay Concerning Human Understanding"

In the 19th century liberalism was strongly associated with the free market, laissez faire economics, opposition to absolutism and in some contexts with the national liberation struggle against the old imperialisms.
This era also saw, in the wake of American and French ideals, the progressive collapse of despotic influence in Europe and the spread, especially after 1848, of republicanism or at least of somewhat constitutional forms of government even in very reticent countries such as Austria-Hungary and the newly formed German Empire, which however maintained, despite the liberal and popular influence on the national unification movement, a semi-absolutist, militaristic, aristocratic and illiberal tradition in the wake of [[File:Bism.png]] [[Bismarckism|Prussianism]] (however the only significative exception that will remain firmly reactionary and anti-liberal will be the Russian Empire). The English, Portuguese and Spanish monarchies liberalized a lot (not without violence in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Wars second] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlist_Wars third] case), in Italy the Risorgimento itself was the result of moderate liberal ideas while France was forced to return to monarchism after the Congress of Vienna in 1815 but became a liberal monarchy with the July Revolution of 1830, then briefly democratic republic in 1848 immediately followed by the second (authoritarian) French empire of Napoleon III until defeat at Prussian hands and the establishment in 1870 of a third republic with liberal-conservative, radical and socialist elements.
In the new world, the [[File:Hamiltonianism.png]] [[Hamiltonianism|federalist]] conservatives lost their influence and dissolved at the beginning of the century, leaving the field open to the more liberal and agrarian [[File:Jeffersondem2.png]] [[Jeffersonian Democracy]], which would then evolve into [[File:Jacksonian Democracy.png]] [[Jacksonian Democracy]] (which was opposed by the American Whigs who, unlike their British counterparts, were much more conservative and protectionist), popular especially among slave-owning Southern Democrats, rigidly linked to economic liberalism, decentralization, [[File:Pop.png]] [[Populism|anti-elitism]], white male suffrage and Strict constructionism but which was ousted from power in 1860 with the election of the moderate Republican Lincoln with his centralization programs. After the Civil War, the Bourbon Democrats strove to maintain the typical ideals of classical liberalism in the USA and above all the gold standard in opposition to bimetallism.
As the century progressed, liberals, from their revolutionary and progressive origins, were moved further and further to the right of the political spectrum due to the emergence of socialism to its left, although [[File:Tradcon.png]] [[Classical Conservatism|conservatives]] remained further to the right. In the late 19th century a more left-wing and social justice-focused strain of liberalism emerged in the British Liberal Party leading to divisions in the party between classical liberals and those who would evolve into social liberals.

Since the downfall of the Soviet Union, Liberalism still going on strong to this very day. However, it has faced recent challengers, such as [[File:CHNNeocon.png]] [[Dengism|Chinese Neoconservatives]], [[File:Rpop.png]] [[Right-Wing Populism|Right-Populists]], [[File:Fundamentalism2.png]] [[Religious Nationalism|Religious Fundamentalists]], and [[File:Sec.png]] [[Authoritarianism|Authoritarian Leaders]] (Both the [[File:AuthSoc.png]] [[State Socialism|Socialist]], [[File:Authcap.png]] [[Authoritarian Capitalism|Capitalist]], [[File:Authprog.png]] [[Social Authoritarianism|Progressive]], and [[File:AuthCon2.png]] [[Authoritarian Conservatism|Conservative]] variants). Liberalism still, however, is the vastly dominant ideology across the west, and [[File:Cball-NATO.png]] [[Neoconservatism|NATO]], a relatively liberal organization, has continued growing.

"Being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions."

Liberalism (Lib) is a centrist ( generally center-libertarian leaning), economically liberal and usually culturally centrist to left-leaning ideology (although there are also some culturally right liberal ideologies like Conservative Liberalism and Reactionary Liberalism).

The elements generally regarded as necessary for the development of a liberal state can be described as follows:

Other elements often found in liberal societies are:

Liberalism is regarded as being one of the dominant ideologies within Western nations. He is also dominant in some countries in Africa, though most African countries are social democratic, progressive, conservative, nationalist, and/or authoritarian. There is little liberal influence in Asia, except in Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines and South Korea, as well as factions of the Chinese Opposition.

History

Proto-Liberalism

Before the Enlightenment, classical thinkers such as Aristotle were considered proto-liberal for their support for private property in opposition to Plato's collectivism, which is instead considered by liberals such as Karl Popper to be the precursor of totalitarianism. The ancient Chinese writer Laozi, founder of Taoism, has often been described as a libertarian who like liberals favored minimal government.

Enlightenment

See: Enlightenment Thought, Classical Liberalism

During the time of the Enlightenment which included the 17th and 18th centuries, a movement of scientists and philosophers going widespread all over Western Europe, John Locke, an English philosopher and political theorist, who also contribute to medicine, revolutionized the system of liberty with his "Essay Concerning Human Understanding"

19th Century

See: Classical Liberalism, Radicalism, National Liberalism, Georgism

In the 19th century liberalism was strongly associated with the free market, laissez faire economics, opposition to absolutism and in some contexts with the national liberation struggle against the old imperialisms. This era also saw, in the wake of American and French ideals, the progressive collapse of despotic influence in Europe and the spread, especially after 1848, of republicanism or at least of somewhat constitutional forms of government even in very reticent countries such as Austria-Hungary and the newly formed German Empire, which however maintained, despite the liberal and popular influence on the national unification movement, a semi-absolutist, militaristic, aristocratic and illiberal tradition in the wake of Prussianism (however the only significative exception that will remain firmly reactionary and anti-liberal will be the Russian Empire). The English, Portuguese and Spanish monarchies liberalized a lot (not without violence in the second and third case), in Italy the Risorgimento itself was the result of moderate liberal ideas while France was forced to return to monarchism after the Congress of Vienna in 1815 but became a liberal monarchy with the July Revolution of 1830, then briefly democratic republic in 1848 immediately followed by the second (authoritarian) French empire of Napoleon III until defeat at Prussian hands and the establishment in 1870 of a third republic with liberal-conservative, radical and socialist elements. In the new world, the federalist conservatives lost their influence and dissolved at the beginning of the century, leaving the field open to the more liberal and agrarian Jeffersonian Democracy, which would then evolve into Jacksonian Democracy (which was opposed by the American Whigs who, unlike their British counterparts, were much more conservative and protectionist), popular especially among slave-owning Southern Democrats, rigidly linked to economic liberalism, decentralization, anti-elitism, white male suffrage and Strict constructionism but which was ousted from power in 1860 with the election of the moderate Republican Lincoln with his centralization programs. After the Civil War, the Bourbon Democrats strove to maintain the typical ideals of classical liberalism in the USA and above all the gold standard in opposition to bimetallism. As the century progressed, liberals, from their revolutionary and progressive origins, were moved further and further to the right of the political spectrum due to the emergence of socialism to its left, although conservatives remained further to the right. In the late 19th century a more left-wing and social justice-focused strain of liberalism emerged in the British Liberal Party leading to divisions in the party between classical liberals and those who would evolve into social liberals.

20th Century

See: Social Liberalism, Conservative Liberalism, Keynesian School, Chicago School, Austrian School

Just before the first world war, the developing countries, especially the United States along begins to develop from its one ideology, Woodrow Wilson, the president during that time uses Conservative Liberalism to justify the excuse the absence during the war where they can free trade until some country decide to attack. After the first world war, the popularity of Liberalism grew more with the rise of Franklin Roosevelt, introducing Social Liberalism. And in awake of the Second World War, the rise even grew upon to the resistance inside the occupied countries by the Axis powers.

21st Century

See: Third Way, Neoliberalism, Neoconservatism, Technoliberalism, Liberal Conservatism, Christian Democracy, Big Tent Liberalism, Civil Libertarianism

Since the downfall of the Soviet Union, Liberalism still going on strong to this very day. However, it has faced recent challengers, such as Chinese Neoconservatives, Right-Populists, Religious Fundamentalists, and Authoritarian Leaders (Both the Socialist, Capitalist, Progressive, and Conservative variants). Liberalism still, however, is the vastly dominant ideology across the west, and NATO, a relatively liberal organization, has continued growing.

Beliefs

Though liberalism is rather vaguely defined, and its definition alters depending on when and where the term is used, it is typically associated with values such as multiparty democracy, personal freedom, equality of opportunity, secularism, human progress, international co-operation, and open-market economics.

What separates Liberal Democracy from pure Classical Liberalism is its higher emphasis on social justice and equality in comparison to its predecessor. Liberal Democracy tends to support moderate means-tested welfare targeted at the poor to make sure that people can meet their basic needs. He, also with his dad, Classical Liberal, influences a lot of other liberal ideologies.

Variants

Liberal Internationalism

Flag of Liberal Internationalism

Liberal Internationalism is a foreign policy doctrine that argues that international organizations should achieve multilateral agreements between states that uphold rules-based norms and promote liberal democracy through things like humanitarian aid or military intervention. It is defined by achieving global structures within international systems that are inclined towards promoting a liberal world order through things like global free trade, liberal economics, and liberal political systems. These international organizations would include institutions like NATO, EU, UN, and the IMF.

Secular Liberalism

Secular liberalism is a form of liberalism in which secularist principles and values, and sometimes non-religious ethics, are especially emphasised. It supports the separation of religion and state. Moreover, secular liberals are usually advocates of liberal democracy and the open society as models for organizing stable and peaceful societies.

Cultural Liberalism

Cultural Liberalism is a social philosophy that expresses the social dimension of liberalism and favors the freedom of individuals to choose to whether to conform to cultural norms. Although, commonly referred to as social liberalism in the context of the United States, doesn't imply an ideology per say, and just the general attitude that individuals should be free to decide their own decisions regardless of the political ideology.

This follows the harm principle, as cultural liberals believe that society shouldn't impose any specific code of behaviour on individuals, they defend the moral rights of nonconformists to express their own identity however they see fit as long as they do not harm anyone else.

Liberal Democracy

Flag of Liberal Democracy

Liberal Democracy is a combination of liberal political ideologies that operates under a representative democratic form of government. It is characterized by elections between multiple distinct political parties, the separation of powers into various different branches of government, the rule of law in everyday life as part of an open society, a market economy with private property, the equal protection of human rights, civil liberties, and political freedoms for all people. This the most known and common type of democracy in the west, and is usually referred as just " Democracy" in the west.

Authoritarian Liberal Democracy

See: Illiberal Democracy

Authoritarian Liberal Democracy describes a hybrid regime combining elements from Liberal Democracy and Authoritarianism. AuthLibDem governments entail power being concentrated in the hands of unaccountable officials—typically unelected bureaucrats and elected representatives who benefit from increased political apathy alike—which leads to a reduction in civil liberties. Local administrations, which tend to be the most democratic in the sense of high activity among citizens, end up being subservient to a highly centralized government, increasing political apathy. Liberal institutions which are supposed to be impartial actors (e.g., courts) end up serving partisan goals and their associated special interest groups. AuthLibDem governments also empower federal law enforcement agencies and routinely violate civil or constitutional rights (e.g., the Espionage Act and the Patriot Act, under American Presidents Woodrow Wilson and George H.W. Bush, respectively). It can be argued AuthLibDem regimes combine technocratic and electocratic elements.

Personality

Liberalism is often shown getting easily angered or "triggered" by others and is shown to not be the biggest fan of violence. He is often schooled in debates.

However, he also has a wiser side that often acts philosophical. He advocates for the protection of individual liberty, equality of opportunity, implementation of limited government and the opening of markets, and supports freedom for people like gays, women and minorities.

How to Draw

Flag of Liberalism

Liberalism's design is based on a flag designed by u/Aransentin on r/neoliberal. The golden circle represents the world with the bars representing the invisible hand of the free market reaching around.

  1. Draw a ball with Eyes
  2. Make it blue (preferably (#006aa7) shade of blue)
  3. Draw a golden/yellow circle (#ffd700) and then make dents in it of the blue color. (Symbolizes the world being held by the invisible hand of the market)

You're done.

Color Name HEX RGB
Blue #006AA7 0, 106, 167
Gold #FFE680 255, 230, 128
