'''Radical Centrism''', shortened to '''RadCent''' is a term used to describe an ideology that advocates for radical change and measures, with an emphasis on pragmatism over ideology.
Line 133 ⟶ 181:
==Foundations and Beliefs==
Radical centrism is a concept that arose in Western nations in the late 20th century. Despite being conflated with ideologies such as syncretism, dead centrism, moderatism, radical liberalism or anti-extremism, it is actually a “meta ideology” that may incorporate elements of these frameworks. Radical centrism, instead of actively searching for a compromise between extremist ideologies like a dead or moderate centrist, is willing to use radical solutions. It uses individual policy proposals from across the political spectrum in a pragmatic way that does not fall upon partisan lines. There are no clearly defined policies for radical centrists but the ideology places a heavy emphasis on pragmatism over ideology, going so far as to call themselves “unideological” or “anti-ideological” due to their willingness to break through party lines to solve systems. Radical centrists borrow ideas from the left and the right, often melding them together and incorporating aspects that are complementary.
==Personality==
RadCent when in contact with other ideologies will try to get them to "peacefully talk it out" and often incorporate their policies into their own framework. He can be quite commanding in the presence of other ideologies when he needs to be due to being more coherent and radical (get it?) than other centrist ideologies. He can get hypnotized by [[File:Centrist-yellow.png]] the four quadrants, tricking him into accepting policies from all around the compass.

===Misguided Centrists===
*[[File:Moder.png]] [[Moderatism]] - He agrees both sides should compromise, but he also thinks being radical is
*[[File:Horshu.png]] [[Horseshoe Centrism]] - Says there's no difference between balance and imbalance as if that makes
*[[File:Altcentr.png]] [[Dead Centrism]] - Both sides may be bad, but this "exactly 50%" thing seems rather impractical. Also, I hate when people constantly stereotype me as if I'm you.
*[[File:Reform.png]] [[Reformism]] - Being a radical is good!
*[[File:Soclib.png]] [[Social Liberalism]] - Depends on just how moderate you are.
==="You have some good ideas, but you should consider some compromise with them"===

*[[File:Necon.png]] [[Neoconservatism]] - Just bomb the ''uncompromising'' ideologies but maybe don’t forget the nation building?
*[[File:Conservative.png]] [[Conservatism]] - How about preserving traditions but still embracing progress in ''some'' areas?
*[[File:Prog-u.png]] [[Progressivism]] - How about progress in ''some'' aspects of society but still keeping ''some'' heritage?
*[[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]] - How about
*[[File:Civlibert.png]] [[Civil Libertarianism]] - How about free speech and limited government ''except'' when it's anti-compromise?
*[[File:Fiscon.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism]] - How about ''some'' fiscal responsibility as long as it doesn't go against the welfare of the people?
*[[File:Keynes.png]] [[Keynesian School]] - How about ''
*[[File:FDF-Pirate.png]] [[Piratism]] - How about we loosen copyright to a ''certain'' extent while still allowing artists to own their creations?
*[[File:Cdem.png]] [[Christian Democracy]] & [[File:Islamic Democracy.png]] [[Islamic Democracy]] - How about
*[[File:Secular.png]] [[Secularism]] - If you simply don't interfere with people's religious beliefs then you're fine; if it's you're slightly more authoritarian French variant then I might have some issues.
*[[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism]] - How about we have ''some'' workers' rights and public property?

*[[File:Merit.png]] [[Meritocracy]] & [[File:Technocracy.png]] [[Technocracy]] - Yes, you are very intelligent and skilled, but that doesn't mean you get to dictate all of society, because all opinions including those from ordinary people are equally important feedback to our society. I find [[File:Scientocracy_Small.png]] [[Scientocracy|th]][[Technoliberalism|ey]] [[File:Neotech.png]] are much more preferable to you two.
*[[File:Liberalsoc.png]] [[Liberal Socialism]] & [[File:Marketsoc.png]] [[Market Socialism]] - Honestly not too bad by socialist standards, but I'd still rather just have decent worker's rights and a solid enough social welfare system than an eventual goal of complete

*[[File:Soccap.png]] [[Social Capitalism]] & [[File:Orlib.png]] [[Ordo-Liberalism]] - Same as the above, but a bit less "tilted".
*[[File:Contrarianism-Icon.png]] [[Contrarianism]] - How about making valid criticisms of the status quo instead of blindly hating it? <small>Seriously, a lot of you guys make me close to putting you in the enemies section.</small>
