Anti-Radical Statism

''Note: This ideology is part of a project by Altem101. The project can be found here.''

Anti-Radical Statism is a Statist, Democratic and Liberal ideology which wants to prevent radicals from overtaking the country.

It is a Liberal ideology which wants to protect the status quo. It wants an authoritarian form of democracy to be put in place and a state founded on the principles of modern, liberal democracy.

What distinguishes it from a normal liberal ideology is its fight against radical ideologies. It wants to protect liberal democracy with all its might and can therefore get pretty authoritarian. It wants a lot of surveillance, heavy restrictions on allowed political thought and a strong police force to prevent radicals from taking over. It can't fully ban any political party from participating in any election, but it will try to demonise any radical group as much as possible.

All these rules are put in place "for the good of the people" and it will constantly deflect any criticism by referring to this principle. It's overall very afraid of criticism as distrust in the state could lead to the rise of radical parties.
