Welcome to the Conservative liberalism page

.

The conservative liberalism recognise that the politics of free and rational individuals depend upon a pre-political social world that is far from free and rational as a whole. This view is based, on the one hand, on a Jewish-Christian personal relationship with God and, on the other hand, on an ultra-liberal view of society in which the economy is the measure of all things.

French demographer Alfred Sauvy wrote in 1952 about 'Three worlds, one planet'. According to his theory, the US, Western Europe, and its allies formed the 'First World', the home of conservative liberalism. The 'Second World' consisted of the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and its allies, which were the homes of communism. The countries that remained were labelled 'Third World'. A (colonialist) classification, suggesting first is 'best', second is 'worst' and making third 'losers'.

Core ideas

.

The philosophical inspiration

.

David Hume (1711 - 1776)

A Treatise on Human Nature (1739-40): “Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.” Hume was also a sentimentalist who held that ethics are based on emotion or sentiment rather than abstract moral principle. He maintained an early commitment to naturalistic explanations of moral phenomena.

.

Alexis de Tocqueville (1805 - 1859)

Individualism is a positive force that prompts people to work together for common purposes. It must be seen as "self-interest properly understood." It helps to counterbalance the danger of the tyranny of the majority since people can "take control over their own lives" without government aid.

Tocqueville explicitly cites inequality as being an incentive for the poor to become rich and observes that it is not often that two generations within a family maintain success and that it is inheritance laws that split and eventually break apart someone's estate that cause a constant cycle of churn between the poor and the rich, thereby over generations making the poor rich and the rich poor. However, one also finds a depraved taste for equality in the human heart, which impels the weak to want to bring the strong down to their level and reduces men to prefer equality in servitude to inequality in freedom.

.

Friedrich Hayek (1899 - 1992)

He made fundamental contributions to political theory, psychology, and economics. Hayek was the best-known advocate of what is now called Austrian economics. Economic analysis is universally applicable, and the appropriate unit of analysis is man and his choices. These choices are determined by individual subjective preferences and the margin on which decisions are made. The logic of choice is essential to developing a universally valid economic theory. Many of the ideas of the leading mid-twentieth-century Austrian economists are rooted in the ideas of classical economists such as Adam Smith and David Hume.

His basic argument was that government control of our economic lives amounts to totalitarianism. “Economic control is not merely control of a sector of human life which can be separated from the rest,” he wrote, “it is the control of the means for all our ends.”

.

Ayn Rand (1905 – 1982)

For Rand, egoism is a moral virtue. According to her, altruism makes one passive. After all, whoever accepts help subjects himself to what another wishes to give and does nothing himself. Empathy is at the expense of creativity and means the end of a prosperous society. Whoever takes responsibility for himself takes responsibility for society. Only a society of proud individuals who pursue happiness and prefer reason to false sentiment is just and harmonious.

Ayn Rand's 1943 novel The Fountainhead is about the struggle between the individual and the collective—a struggle that does not take place in the political arena but in the soul of man. The main character, Howard Roark, is larger than life. He is a passionate, brilliant architect who pursues his dream and refuses to conform to the demands of mediocrity. He sets himself apart from the "second-handers," who do not have their ideas but imitate others. His individuality contrasts with the herd mentality. That is also typical of Rand. As a refugee from the Soviet Union, she always opposed any form of collectivity. She sees everything that restricts the free individual as oppressive. Roark is her ideal person.

Dark Enlightenment

At the core of both Dark Enlightenment and accelerationism is a fundamental rejection of Enlightenment values—democracy, equality, and humanism. British philosopher Nick Land, who first articulated the Dark Enlightenment, critiques liberal democracy as a failing system that fosters mediocrity, inefficiency, and social decay. Nick Land and his followers advocate for a return to hierarchical governance, where power is concentrated in the hands of a technological elite rather than dispersed through democratic institutions.

He views democratic and egalitarian policies as only slowing down acceleration and the techno-capital singularity, stating, "Beside the speed machine, or industrial capitalism, there is an ever more perfectly weighted decelerator. Comically, the fabrication of this braking mechanism is proclaimed as progress.

Land argues that democracy, emphasising equality and accountability, impedes technological and social progress, which he believes should be led by an elite few. For Land, democratic values like fairness and equality are outdated obstacles to innovation, and he advocates for a governance model where decision-making authority is concentrated among intellectual and technological elites. His views align closely with Yarvin’s, promoting a society governed by those deemed most capable, with little regard for public input or accountability.

.

Accelerationism

Accelerationism is a political and social theory advocating intensifying capitalist growth, technological development, and systemic change to hasten the collapse of existing structures and pave the way for radical transformation.

The theory builds on the idea that capitalism has inherent contradictions that will eventually lead to its collapse. Accelerationists propose speeding up these processes to reach this endpoint sooner. Nick Land describes acceleration as a "transcendental" force driving humanity toward an "absolute horizon," often associated with the singularity - a point where technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible.

  • Right-Wing Accelerationism influenced by thinkers like Nick Land, embraces the destabilizing effects of capitalism and technology to create a new hierarchical or technocratic order

Nick Land takes its cue from Karl Marxː

  • But, in general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade. (Karl Marx, fragment of his 1848 speech "On the Question of Free Trade")

Land has continually praised China's economic policy as accelerationist. He moved to Shanghai and worked as a journalist, writing material characterized as pro-government propaganda. He also spoke highly of Deng Xiaoping and Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew, calling Lee an "autocratic enabler of freedom."

.

  • Left-Wing Accelerationism seeks to leverage technological progress and capitalism's contradictions to transition toward a post-capitalist society, often emphasizing egalitarian outcomes

(fragments of) ACCELERATE MANIFESTO for an Accelerationist Politics - by Alex Williams and Nick Srnicek - 14 May 2013
2. Most significant is the breakdown of the planetary climatic system. In time, this threatens the continued existence of the present global human population. Though this is the most critical of the threats which face humanity, a series of lesser but potentially equally destabilising problems exist alongside and intersect with it. Terminal resource depletion, especially in water and energy reserves, offers the prospect of mass starvation, collapsing economic paradigms, and new hot and cold wars. Continued financial crisis has led governments to embrace the paralyzing death spiral policies of austerity, privatisation of social welfare services, mass unemployment, and stagnating wages. Increasing automation in production processes including ‘intellectual labour’ is evidence of the secular crisis of capitalism, soon to render it incapable of maintaining current standards of living for even the former middle classes of the global north.

13. The overwhelming privileging of democracy-as-process needs to be left behind. The fetishisation of openness, horizontality, and inclusion of much of today’s ‘radical’ left set the stage for ineffectiveness. Secrecy, verticality, and exclusion all have their place as well in effective political action (though not, of course, an exclusive one).

14. Democracy cannot be defined simply by its means — not via voting, discussion, or general assemblies. Real democracy must be defined by its goal — collective self-mastery. This is a project which must align politics with the legacy of the Enlightenment, to the extent that it is only through harnessing our ability to understand ourselves and our world better (our social, technical, economic, psychological world) that we can come to rule ourselves. We need to posit a collectively controlled legitimate vertical authority in addition to distributed horizontal forms of sociality, to avoid becoming the slaves of either a tyrannical totalitarian centralism or a capricious emergent order beyond our control. The command of The Plan must be married to the improvised order of The Network.

.

Curtis Yarvin

Yarvin conceived the concept of 'The Cathedral,' a term he uses to describe what he perceives as an informal alliance between academia, the media and government. According to Yarvin, these institutions work together to advance progressive ideologies while suppressing dissenting views. Yarvin's critique extends beyond accusations of institutional bias, positioning The Cathedral as a powerful ideological machine that maintains its influence by perpetuating a self-reinforcing 'progressive orthodoxy.' By framing democracy as an inherently coercive force that stifles intellectual and social freedom, Yarvin challenges the legitimacy of democratic institutions altogether.

He posits that these institutions exist not to serve the public good, as they claim, but to indoctrinate and control, perpetuating what he views as a hypocritical adherence to principles of equality and representation that ultimately undermine genuine freedom. This view seeks to erode public trust in democratic structures, paving the way for a model of governance centred on authoritarian control, with loyalty, submission, and efficiency prioritized over collective decision-making and accountability.

.

James Dale Davidson & William Rees-Mogg

The Sovereign Individual, a 1997 work by James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg, aligns with NRx principles. In this book, Davidson and Rees-Mogg foresee a future where technology empowers wealthy individuals to ‘exit’ national governance and establish private sovereignties beyond collective governance structures. They argue that advancing technology and global economic integration will gradually make nation-states obsolete. These shifts, they propose, will allow the wealthy elite to separate from public governance and establish autonomous, self-ruled enclaves. This form of private governance sidesteps democratic accountability, redefining governance as a market-driven enterprise where allegiance, wealth, and control replace civic engagement and public accountability as the foundation of power.

.

Peter Thiel

Peter Thiel reflects a willingness to deprioritize democratic principles in favour of a system where market dynamics determine governance. In this model, the wealthy act as an ‘untethered elite,’ operating outside traditional government structures and with minimal obligations toward society. Thiel’s support for these ideas resonates with NRx philosophy, which advocates for a hierarchical, authoritarian structure where governance is private, enabling elites to ‘exit’ mainstream society.

.

Rowland Atkinson

Urban sociologist Rowland Atkinson’s concept of ‘libertecture’ sheds light on the spatial dimensions of NRx and libertarian values. Libertecture encompasses urban developments like seasteads, gated communities, start-up cities and other forms of ‘free space’, each structured to prioritise independence and autonomy for the privileged at the expense of democratic inclusivity. These spaces foster exclusivity, creating environments accessible only to those with wealth or connections, undermining the democratic ideal of public, shared space. Atkinson’s analysis extends to other libertecture spaces, including digital ‘portal spaces,’ remote ‘pioneer exclaves,’ and even urban areas abandoned due to diverted investment. Each zone prioritises wealth and autonomy over inclusivity and civic engagement, fostering social and economic divides that deepen inequality. By promoting environments that devalue collective responsibility, libertecture contributes to a fragmented urban landscape where autonomy is privileged and social bonds weakened.

.

Matrix Red Pil

The ‘red pill’ metaphor from The Matrix has also become a powerful symbol within NRx ideology, representing an ‘awakening’ to the supposed truth that democratic values are illusory, concealing an underlying superiority of authoritarian rule. For NRx proponents, the democratic emphasis on equality and accountability is not merely flawed but fundamentally deceptive, masking a natural hierarchy that authoritarian governance could better serve. The red pill is a gateway to NRx’s worldview, which trivializes democracy and elevates authoritarianism, replacing civic engagement with loyalty to an elite authority. This metaphor has helped NRx thinkers recruit followers by presenting an authoritarian worldview as a path to enlightenment.

The rise of mainstream figures like Vance, who endorse or tacitly support NRx principles, poses serious threats to democratic society. As NRx ideas infiltrate mainstream politics, they introduce governance models fundamentally opposing democracy. This influence risks transforming urban spaces from shared, public environments into libertecture-inspired zones designed to serve a privileged elite, leaving the majority to navigate a landscape stripped of public services and collective resources. In a world already grappling with critical issues like climate change, economic inequality and social fragmentation, NRx’s emphasis on loyalty-driven governance and individual autonomy represents a dangerous divergence from democratic values and civic responsibility. The increasing influence of figures like Vance, Yarvin, Thiel and Musk (who also claims to have been ‘red-pilled’) signals a shift in American politics that could weaken the foundations of democratic life, replacing them with a structure where wealth and power determine societal roles, undermining the collective principles that have traditionally supported democratic society.

Natural Law is the Legal Foundation of the Christian West

Natural law is the legal theory upon which the Christian West is based. It holds that there is a moral code written in the hearts of men, valid for all peoples and places, which provides a basis for moral certainty that guides human action. This moral law in human nature provides the general guidelines for all laws. The Ten Commandments, for example, are often described as a concise summary of natural law.

When God created humankind, He established a moral order in the soul. The general precept of the natural law, from which all others follow, is that "good is to be done and sought, and evil is to be avoided" (St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, I-II, q. 94, a. 2). This is hardly an arbitrary theocratic platform for tyranny.

Natural law is based on the inherent nature of things that function according to their purpose. A chair that does not provide a seat does not fulfil its function. A glass that does not hold liquid is contrary to the internal logic of its existence. So, too, with humanity and society. Through natural reason, one can perceive what is good and bad for the functioning of society. For example, it is in the nature of speech that the truth is told. Lying is an abuse of speech and, therefore, wrong and contrary to the good order of society. Stealing is always wrong because it deprives another of what is his due. These are not subjective judgments but part of the working of things.

Far from being rigid rules, natural law is a set of guidelines that both authorizes and constrains the government in its pursuit of the political community's common good. Natural law prevents tyranny and abuse by preventing the law from sliding into arbitrariness and fantasy. It supports order, the state where everything functions according to its nature and purpose.

The American legal tradition has its roots in natural law, as evidenced by the famous English jurist Sir William Blackstone (1723-1780), who profoundly influenced colonial common law. He posited a "law of nature" that "is binding throughout the world, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are valid if they are inconsistent with this; and those that are valid derive all their force and authority, directly or indirectly, from this original." In other words, natural law is not a new imposition on society but a return to the source from which America can regenerate its law in a climate of certainty, order, and logic.

Snippits from the 2025 Stopping Socialism website
Why ‘Democratic,’ European-Style Socialism Is Also Extremely Immoral. Rather than thinking about “socialist nations” versus “capitalist countries,” it makes far more sense when evaluating modern European-style socialist nations to consider the morality of specific socialist government programs. Upon doing so, it will become evident that the same moral issues facing Marx’s pure communist-socialism plague all modern countries with socialist programs, which for our purposes can be defined as programs whose primary purpose is to socialize an industry through collective property ownership.

In a country in which the entire health insurance industry is socialized and the government pays for abortion and contraception, all taxpayers are required to pay for these services/products, including those taxpayers who believe such activities are extremely immoral. In Roman Catholicism, both abortion and nearly all forms of contraception are forbidden by the Church’s Magisterium—the Roman Catholic Church’s authority on faith and moral issues. Those who knowingly and willingly use contraception, have an abortion, or encourage others to engage in these activities despite knowing such actions are considered “grave sins” are committing a “mortal sin”—a sin so severe that it’s said to make shipwreck of a person’s soul.

The Conservative Vision of Education

Now is the time to go on offense in offering a compelling vision about the truth of the human person. Most parents want that for their children, and our nation needs it. America needs students who know and love the good, the true, and the beautiful. It needs students who form real friendships, intellectual friendships, moral friendships. It needs students who love their country, their home, and who are ready to serve—to serve neighbor, country, and God.

Human Nature, Technology, and the Progress Dilemma

Especially as they come unmoored from the Christian framework, left-wing movements tend to move beyond efforts to redress new asymmetries toward waging war on natural difference. A new bioegalitarianism is emerging that seeks to replace human nature with a formless equality even at the expense of our humanity itself, replacing imago dei (the Christian view of mankind as created in the image of God) with imago DEI (a protean plurality governed only by its willingness to see the dissolution of all difference as a good in its own right). But a tech-curious Right can walk this path in continued reference to human excellence, ordered always to an acknowledgement, valorization, and defense of the durability, sanctity, and indispensability of imago dei.

Reason, Revelation, and Identity Politics

By refusing to take seriously the questions that underlie modern rationality, the West continues to undermine itself, to increase its own doubting and internal self-loathing. It makes its politics, its education, and its societies welcoming arenas for the atheism of unreason as mere subjectivity becomes the arbiter of what is ethical and good for man to do. The pathologies of reason and religion with which is plagued should not then be surprising. But the path forward is really the path of recovery of philosophical realism, the rebuilding of biblical faith, and the reawakening of love for constitutional republics.

Citizens’ Right to Self-Defense

Conservatives must remember that the Constitution of the United States and the rights reflected therein are rights bestowed on citizens not by the grace of government, but by the hand of God and the essence of nature. The responsibility is not on citizens to prove they need or deserve these rights and freedoms, which, by default, are theirs to enjoy. Rather, the onus is—and should remain—on government to prove, under the strictest of scrutiny, that any curtailment of a constitutionally guaranteed right is for the overall public good without any undue impact on the ability of individual citizens to preserve their life, liberty and property as they see fit.

The Cato Institute

Snippits from the 2025 Cato Institute website
For more than 40 years, Cato has led the charge for liberty in our nation and around the world. The Cato Institute is a public policy research organization—or think tank—that creates a presence for and promotes libertarian ideas in policy debates. Our mission is to keep the principles, ideas, and moral case for liberty alive for future generations, while moving public policy in the direction of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace.

Since 1977, the Cato Institute has been one of the most effective voices in Washington, DC, advocating individual liberty.

.

Our vision is a free and open society in which liberty allows every individual to pursue a life of prosperity and meaning in peace.

.

The mission of the Cato Institute is to keep the principles, ideas, and moral case for liberty alive for future generations while moving public policy in the direction of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace.

.

  1. We believe liberty is the highest political value and a moral imperative. Freedom enables each individual to choose the path of his or her own life and to live it, with dignity and respect, as they wish, consistent with the right of others to do the same.
  2. In reality, there are only two political philosophies: liberty and power. It is the exercise of power, not freedom, that requires justification, and those who advocate coercion in any arena must bear a heavy burden of proof.
  3. The free individual, possessing both moral worth and moral rights, is the fundamental unit of society. But liberty does not imply atomistic individuals living solitary existences in a dog-eat-dog world. To the contrary, humankind has survived only through collaboration and cooperation. Liberty allows this cooperative impulse to flourish, while engendering tolerance and individual responsibility.
  4. Social conflict results when “cooperation” or association is coerced by government, or when some seek to use the power of the state to impose their beliefs, values, or modes of behavior on others. Another desirable consequence of individual liberty, therefore, is greater social harmony, when we are left to associate and collaborate as, and with whom, we choose.
  5. John Locke said, “The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom.” Government is established to protect our unalienable rights and to protect us from those—including government and its agents—who would initiate force or coercion against us. Law and government require the consent of the governed and must be limited, constitutionally defined and constrained, transparent, and applied equally and consistently.
  6. Liberty and free markets create prosperity and progress by giving us the opportunity and incentives to use our talents and to cooperate with others to create and produce. The support of a few fundamental institutions—such as property rights and the rule of law—protects our rights and makes possible invention, innovation, and improvements across the whole range of human well-being.
  7. Free speech, free expression, open inquiry, diversity of ideas and viewpoints, honest pursuit of truth, and healthy disagreement are essential to the progress of humanity and civilization.
  8. We are committed to peace and cooperation across all domains of society, from the local community to the realm of international relations. War is the enemy of human progress, happiness, prosperity, and life. The Founding generation recognized that war and power politics corrode republican institutions and undermine liberty. Open trade, economic and cultural engagement, and diplomacy are the best means for sustaining ongoing peace, with military intervention reserved only for grave threats to national security.

Snippits from the 2025 Americans for Prosperity website
Economic Progress

America is in the middle of an economic crisis. Unsustainable government spending and burdensome regulations have driven up inflation and resulted in high food, energy, and housing costs — limiting the economic progress of nearly every American. That’s why we're working to reduce wasteful spending, unleash energy abundance, and empower workers to prove prosperity is still possible and together we can reignite the American Dream.

Sensible solutions for the American economy. Prosperity is Possible when we support policies that promote a reliable, abundant, and affordable energy supply, without undue government interference. This includes:

  • More sensible environmental regulations
  • Fiscal policies that treat all fuel sources equally, allowing the market to deliver the most efficient energy mix.

Free Speech

Every American should have the power to speak, think, and act as they see fit, without hindrance from the government — as long as they’re not violating the rights of others. Yet today we too often see resistance toward a culture of free expression. We need to protect the First Amendment!

Immigration

America needs secure borders and a functioning immigration system. Congress’ decades-long failure to strengthen our border and streamline lawful migration pathways has created a system that undermines the rule of law and fails to meet the needs of American families, workers, and entrepreneurs. We’re focused on permanent border security solutions and immigration policies for a more effective and fair system.

Mathias Corvinus Collegium

Snippits from the 2025 MCC website
The survival of the family depends on the restoration of adult authorityDuring the past fifty years, the authoritative status of the family has come under sustained attack by a coalition of social engineers, therapeutic and so-called caring professionals, academics and supporters of identity politics. The phrase ‘war against the family’ used by the sociologist Brigitte Berger captures an important development that emerged in the 1970s and remains in play to this day (1). The tendency to devalue the moral status of the conventional family and its norms enjoys a formidable cultural valuation. It is also widely supported by academic experts and policymakers directing family affairs. In mainstream academic literature and related policy documents, finding an unambiguous positive affirmation for the traditional nuclear family is difficult.

Brigitte Berger has identified six important features that characterise family life in different societies. These are:

  1. The organisation of human sexuality by means of some form of marriage that serves to socially legitimise the sexual union, regardless of whether manifested in the form of monogamy or polygamy and its subcategories;
  2. A taken-for-granted acceptance that the core function of this union revolves around the procreation and protection of children;
  3. An acknowledgement of the rights and duties between the spouses as well as those of the spouses to their children;
  4. Some clearly designated residential arrangements for husband, wife, and children commonly called a household;
  5. A set of more or less precisely established reciprocal economic obligations between husband and wife and of both to their children;
  6. A socially legitimated system of reckoning descent.

Patriotic Populism: what does it offer democracy

In Europe the success of patriotic populist parties has had a huge impact on the political agenda. Whether on immigration or the Green Deal the pressure from populist movements has forced the mainstream centrist political establishment to backtrack. In many of the EU’s nation states, citizens can now vote for and support a serious patriotic political alternative.
