One of the major problems with these questions is that American conservatism (right-wing) is very different from European right wing.

We try to “conserve” the principles of the American Revolution, the most truly radical revlution of all time. It is thus a conservatism of revolution.

European right-wingers are descended from the much older aristocratic, authoritarian ideologies, often blended with hare-brained blood and soil idiocy.

Hindenburg would have had very little in common with an American conservative of his day, much less now. OTOH, today’s liberals or progressives have a great deal in common with both commies and nazis, the main difference being that they intend to reach the same goals using kinder, gentler methods.

Thank you! I tried to say the same thing, and just got bashed for “not reading”.
