In the Soviet Union the term Conservative literally referred to Stalinists and hardcore Leninists who opposed perestroika & glasnot. North Korean conservatives opposed the introduction of farmers' markets. Conservatives in Europe frequently defend their limited monarchy.

Conservative is a defense of systemic values deemed traditional to the current political order. An American conservative is a classical liberal.

You know the thing about conservatives? They always lose. Maybe not initially, but over time, fighting to conserve the status quo is a lost battle.

We've always been failures. We might as well kill ourselves to properly acknowledge failing at life.

Conservativism has always been a failed ideology. Anything that isnt leftism fails.
