Wouldn't that be radical centrism?

(Which is just centrism by US standards, but center-right by European standards etc etc)

There's a video of interviews with French Mormons and they are flabbergasted that Mormons in the US aren't communists.

They kind of are. Mutual aid is common, as is shared work for community benefit. It's just also doused in prepper an-cap bullshit about food stores and guns and basically generation damage from the founders of their sect breaking hella laws and fleeing state to state.

Ohh, and their church is one of the top 10 land owners in the US, and has 100s of billions in an investment fund that it "misunderstood the need to disclose" for years.
