Its like "conservative" is what "progressives" call non socialists.. cause "conservative" makes "progressive" sound forward looking and creatively beneficial.. When "Progressives" are leftist retrograde political malafactors ALWAYS.. Capitalism builds wealth for everyone, socialism USES that wealth UP..
I agree, you make a good point. Hence you see fascist totalitarians being called “conservative” to tar the Republicans in the US. But I don’t run away from labels. A rose by any other name. Were I define myself, I would use “Christian” for my spiritual beliefs and “Christian” for my political beliefs.
