Reactionary Liberalism
Not to be confused with
Reactionary Libertarianism
"The assertion that men are objectively equal is so absurd that it does not even merit being refuted."
Reactionary Liberalism, is an economically center-right to far-right, statist (but mostly democratic) civically variable and culturally right to far-right ideology who believes in a union of economic policies typical of liberalism (pro-free enterprise
capitalist market economy, typically
Classical Liberal in nature but sometimes it can be
Keynesian or
Social market economy) and a democratic system of government with
reactionary and
traditionalist social values, although a
minority of them propose non-democratic forms of government. It is defined by it's belief that there should be a separation between Free-Market Capitalism/Liberal Democracy and Post-Enlightenment cultural views, which it deems as "degenerate".
Unlike most ideologies on this wiki, this one isn't a serious theoretical one or has many open advocates IRL, as the majority of the center right to right wing populist claim to be against liberalism. It mostly originates from insults of Leftists towards center right to right wing populist figures who seem to promote
Neoliberal economics.
Personality and Behavior
Unlike most other culturally reactionary ideologies, he does not view the institution of liberal democracy as contradictory to or incompatible with far-right social views, seeing social
Progressivism as a problem separate to the system it exists in, which makes him somewhat of an "opposite unity" ideology between the
Liberal Dynasty and the far-right.
On a similar note, his cultural views set him aside from other liberal ideologies though sharing substantial similarities with National Liberalism and
Conservative Liberalism.Older Reactionary Liberals tend to be part of the
Christian Democracy, who believe that a liberal democratic system and strong traditional Christian society can be combined.
Younger Reactionary Liberals very commonly are part of the
Online New Right movements
, tend to
bitch and moan complain about "free speech" whenever they're censored by progressive corporations for their edgy behavior. They tend to rant about "Cultural Marxism" and "Gender Ideology" and how they want to take away their values.

Brazil ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/6/68/Bolsonarism-alt.png)
Bolsonarism is an economically and cultural far-right ideology defended by Jair Bolsonaro and his supporters. He advocates many values associated with the Christian Right, being highly opposed to secularism. A core proponent of his vision is "making Brazil not a
socialist country anymore", advocating that the
Brazilian military regime (known for its numerous human rights violations) was extremely prosperous before democracy. He is opposed to abortion, gay marriage and essentially anything progressive, and is in favor of liberalization of gun laws, privatization of government industries and the laxing of environmental regulations, taking a strongly
neoliberal economic agenda. He wants to align Brazil to be closer with
Israel and the
United States, and openly admires
Donald Trump.
Chile ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/f/fa/Republican_chile.png)
Republican Party was founded in 2018 out of the results of Republican Ideas, both created by initiative of José Antonio Kast, a former
Independent Democratic Union partisan, after growing disappointed for the lack of a strong defense of the party in topics such as traditional family and opposition to progressive laws such as abortion and gender ideology.
In 2017 he ran for President independently, representing a right wing sector that strongly defended such values and wasn't happy with the idea of voting for Sebastián Piñera again. He got 7.9% of counted votes.
That sentiment grew as he approved gender identity laws, pardoned illegal migrants and let increasing crime be. Popular demand for a voice against that wasn't present in any political party; so Republican Party was founded with that task in mind.
After the 2019 widespread riots in most major cities in Chile, the proposal of rewriting the Chilean Constitution from scratch and a subsequential referendum, José Antonio Kast was one of the only Chilean politicians with a clear standing against its rewriting, thus becoming the face for the "hard right wing" in Chile.
In 2021 he ran for President a second time representing an electorate which was tired of the inaction of the right wing parties to preserve Chilean integrity, its institutions and its foundations. He got the second place with 44.1% of the counted votes.

France

The Thermadorian Reaction was a period during the final phases of the Reign of Terror during the events of the French Revolution. It was a coup led by more moderate elements of the French National Convention, who denounced the tyrannical policies of
Maximilian Robespierre & the Committee of Public Safety. After they subsequently lost support from the
Plaineist deputies of the National Convention, the
Montagnards & their Communard supporters were declared outlaws, arrested after a skirmish at the Hôtel de Ville, and executed. The Thermadorians then initiated a White Terror against those who were still loyal to the Montagnards, & barred them from receiving public office.
The regime itself, known as the Directory, established limitations to prevent one person from concentrating power, thus creating an oligarchy of five men in the process. For the most part, it was a relatively ineffective regime, & completely unpopular with the people. It was ultimately overthrown in a coup d'etat by
Napoleon Bonaparte &
Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès, who replaced it with the French Consulate.
Henry de Lesquen is a far-right figure, near non-existent politically speaking, with a racialist and national-liberal doctrine. He is also the leader and co-founder of the metapolitical think tank Carrefour de l'Horloge,he also have his own party:
Parti National-Libèral (PNL). Other prominent figures that share his ideology
are other two of the seven co-founders of the Carrefour de l'Horloge: defunct Yvan Blot founder of the association
Agir Pour la Democratie Directe which have the objective to change the french constitution into the
swiss model and Jean Yves-Gallou that it is part of the party
Reconquest.
Germany ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/d/d6/Alternative_for_germany_ball.png)
Alternative for Germany is a
National Conservative party in Germany created by Bernd Lucke in 2013. Originally starting out as a more softly Eurosceptic
Liberal Conservative party, it starting taking a much more hardline stance in 2015, with the current incarnation of the AfD promoting anti-immigration, anti-Islam, anti-feminist, and climate change denialist rhetoric, along with being more overtly against European integration. The party also supports an
Ordo-Liberal economic platform, citing inspiration from Walter Eucken and Ludwig Erhard, and wants to install a
Swiss-style semi-direct democracy. There was an even more right-wing faction of the party called
"Der Flügel", with some of its members having ties to Neo-Nazi groups, although it was formally dissolved in 2020.
Israel ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/5/5a/NewRight%28Israel%29.png)
Japan ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/6/67/LDP%28Japan%29.png)
The Liberal Democratic Party is a right-wing,monarchist and the dominant party in Japan, with various factions ideologically diverse, the main faction that dominates the party is economically liberal, socially conservative and ethnonationalist.
Netherlands ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/e/e5/FvD-icon.png)
Forum for Democracy is a
right-populist party in the Netherlands, headed by Thierry Baudet. FvD are in favor of a stricter national immigration policy in which Dutch citizens would decide for themselves who is received. In combination with these measures, the party is in favor of receiving asylum seekers in the region and an active deportation policy of illegal immigrants, in which illegality is punishable. In addition, the party advocates a 'Dutch Values Protection Act'.
The party is in favor of semi-direct democracy and advocates the introduction of binding referendums and popular initiatives as according to them, power and functions are divided among the main government parties. FvD favors a directly elected mayor and a directly elected prime minister. The party also favors a government made up of apolitical experts and believes top officials should reapply for their position when a new cabinet is formed, his economic platform is in line with
Classical Liberalism, primarily consists of market deregulation, lowering taxes and privatization of certain public-owned enterprises and properties (ex:Dutch public broadcasting Foundation), despite being considered a far-right party they propose the gradual legalization of soft drugs and even study the possibility of legalize hard Drugs also they're in favour of same-sex marriage. They also hold
hard eurosceptic views, calling for an EU withdrawal referendum (Nexit) and focus on
climate skepticism, ignoring the scientific consensus on climate change.
Lastly, the party holds a strongly traditionalist view on culture, with Baudet having outright said that they "fundamentally oppose the values of the enlightenment"[7]. A major part of their platform is based around wanting to restore old dutch culture and architecture. They have also gotten in trouble for having ties to the Alt-Right and
white nationalists in the past, one particular instance involving the youth wing being hijacked by
neo-nazis and Baudet refused to disown them, causing most of the "moderate wing" of the party to resign in protest and eventually forming a separate party JA21 in December 2020.
