Libropedia

Libropedia is a proposed wiki to include all things liberal, and from all schools of liberalism: classical liberal, neoliberal, neoclassical liberal, libertarian, social liberal, progressive, socialist, humanist, conservative liberal, religious liberal (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, et. al.), anti-religious liberal, New Age liberal, Green (ecoist) liberal, Grey (anthropocentric) liberal, altruistic/humanitarian liberal, egoist/hedonist liberal, leftism, anarchism, pacifism, and anything else that may be out there and liberal.

In Libropedia, liberal is everything that is NOT conservative (for example, conservative liberalism would be included, but "liberal conservatism" would not be). For our purposes here, "conservative" is defined as any viewpoint which is overly restrictive, dogmatic, rigid, traditional, militant, authoritarian, totalist (totalistic and/or totalitarian), and advocating the initiation of force and/or the use of violent force (such as killing, beating, torture) as a form of punishment and/or interrogation, etc.

Conservative philosophies are often mutually exclusive of each other, and include Mainstream Western Conservatism (Traditional Christianity, prudish moralism, militarism, corporate capitalism, etc.), Christian Dominionism (Bible theocracy), Fascism, Nazism, Islamist terrorism, Stalinist Communism, Maoist Communism, and many religious cults.

Liberals generally (but not always) support the questioning, reforming, and changing of traditions; encourage freedom of conscience (thought); and support sexual and reproductive freedom. Many (but not all) liberals also insist that some basic human needs (such as food, water, shelter, medicine, job/income) are in fact rights that every affluent society should feel obligated to provide. Pretty much all liberals support tolerance of cultural diversity and abhor the use of violence or force by anyone, but especially by the civic authorities to deal with dissidents and nonconformists (i.e. "criminals", whether in objective reality or merely by statute).
