Introduction
Revolutionary Liberalism is a form of liberalism that seeks to radically change the status quo of a certain region in an effort to establish a liberal democracy. Much like regular Liberalism, it is politically centrist, supporting Keynesian economic theory and a balance between free markets and welfare, as well as being culturally progressive, and most of all, strongly supportive of representative democracy.
It can seek to revolutionize any status quo, as long as it sees said status quo as fundamentally non-liberal. This means it can oppose an excessively socialist, excessively capitalist, excessively authoritarian, and/or excessively conservative status quo. It can even oppose modern liberal democracies, if it sees them as non-liberal in some way or another.
Its opposition to various status quos and its revolutionary ideals put it at odds with most other centrist ideologies, and its centrism puts it at odds with most other revolutionary ideologies.
Personality
Revolutionary Liberalism has a rather strong personality, being very blunt, very vigilant in upholding political integrity, and very intolerant of deception. They are often seen crashing liberal meetings and yelling about how they are the only true liberal in the room. They have a visceral hatred of all non-liberal politicians, no matter their political leanings, only somewhat softening their attitude with those that have moved their status quos towards liberalism. As a revolutionary, they can somewhat sympathize with other revolutionary ideology balls, though their liberal ideals cause rifts to occur there too.
