'''Radical Centrism''', shortened to '''RadCent''' is a term used to describe any ideology which advocates for radical change and measures, with an emphasis on pragmatism over ideology.
'''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.


The essence of Radical Centrism can be described as something along the lines of “ideological grocery shopping”. It uses policy positions from any ideology across the political spectrum in a non-partisan pragmatic way to solve individual issues with the fundamental goal of reforming institutions.

==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 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 calling themselves “un ideological” 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. It should be noted that although the radical centrist has a tendency towards moderate solutions, he isn’t above radical solutions. Most tend to support market-based solutions to social problems, with strong governmental oversight to represent public interest. There is support for the growth of an empowered middle class. General policies common to many radical centrists and radical centrist literature include-

==Personality==
1. A commitment to fiscal responsibility, even if it entails reduction of social programs.
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.


==How to Draw==
2. A commitment to market-based solutions in health care, education, energy, the environment etc so long as the solutions are carefully regulated by government to serve the public good. The policy goal, says Matthew Miller, is to "harness market forces for public purposes".

3. A commitment to provide jobs for everyone willing to work, by subsidizing jobs in the private sector.

4. A commitment to need-based rather than race, gender or other identity based affirmative action; more generally, a commitment to identity neutral ideals.

5. A commitment to participate in institutions and processes of global governance.

6. A commitment to decentralization of power to limit corruption through methods such as a Swiss style direct democracy

"Morality binds and blinds. It binds us into ideological teams that fight each other as though the fate of the world depended on our side winning each battle. It blinds us to the fact that each team is composed of good people who have something important to say."

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.

The essence of Radical Centrism can be described as something along the lines of “ideological grocery shopping”. It uses policy positions from any ideology across the political spectrum in a non-partisan pragmatic way to solve individual issues with the fundamental goal of reforming institutions.

History

TBA

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 the four quadrants, tricking him into accepting policies from all around the compass.

How to Draw

Flag of Radical Centrism
  1. Draw a ball with eyes.
  2. Fill it in grey.
  3. "Carve out" 4 arrows from the 4 cardinal directions of the ball pointing towards the centre of the ball.
  4. Separate each arrow into 2 parts around the center of each arrow.
  5. Fill the sections of the ball with the color of each of the political compass that corresponds to the relative area on the political compass.
