Conservatism in Superior is a political and social philosophy which characteristically shows respect for Superian traditions, Monarchism, and support for Judeo-Christian values. It generally supports limited government (typically supporting state's rights), Anglo-American exceptionalism, and indiviualism. Conservatism in Superior is highly considered pro-capitalist and pro-business, being opposed to labor unions. It often advocates for gun rights, free trade, a large defense budget, and is staunchly opposed to left wing ideologies, such as socialism and landonism.

Superian conservatives generally believe that indiviual liberty (in the confines of conservative values) is the fundamental trait of democracy. Most conservatives believe in a balance between federal government and the rights of states. Generally, Superian conservatives generally support strong action by the federal government in terms of defense and the enforcement of laws. Religion, specifically Judeo-Christian values, drive conservative social policy, with Superian social conservatives often opposing abortion and same-sex marriage and supporting the promotion of Christian values in Superian society, most notably in both public and private schools. In terms of education, Superian conservatives generally support private schooling over public schooling and believe in school choice. Most Superian conservatives support the upholding of the Constitution of Superior and the free market, being opposed to most economic regulations and supporting laissez-faire economics.

Like conservatism seen in Anglo-America and parts of South America, Superian conservatism is generally considered to be more on the right side of the political spectrum, especially when compared to conservatism seen in Europe and parts of Asia. According to historians and political observers, Superian conservatism has played a role in both Superian politics and culture, though did not officially solidify and organize itself until the early 1960s. The most recent conservatism movement has seen it's base in the United Conservative Party and the Constitution and Unionist Party, two of the largest conservative parties in Superior. Both parties were founded in conservatism, though the United Conservative Party's predecessor, the Conservative Party, promoted a more liberal view of Superian conservatism for most of it's existence.

Overview

Superian conservatism has been defined by tension and competition between competing ideologies throughout the course of its modern history, but have consistently held common values and beliefs. These beliefs include the support of free-market capitalism, laissez-faire economics, limited government, individualism, and shared opposition towards Landonism, other forms of communism and socialism. They general advocate for low taxes, free market, deregulation and low regulations, and reductions in government spending and debt. Socially, Superian conservatives support Christian values, family values, and moral absolutism. Due to its close proximity and relationship with the Kingdom of Sierra, Superian conservatism has many commonalities and takes inspiration from the conservative movement in Sierra as well.

Types

  • Fiscal conservatism, a type of conservative ideology that is hesitant on government spending and supports reduction of deficit, austerity, and opposes the creation of new social programs and a welfare state.
  • National conservatism, nationalist-oriented conservatism that focuses on the idea of Superians as a distinct nation and promotes the national unity of the Superian people while seeking to conserve certain cultural, political, and social norms and institutions that are viewed as a core part of the Superian identity and threats to the unity of Superians and the security of Superior as a whole.
