Fine, you are a Green Beret. Now talk.
You tell me. I can see leftism ideologically transits language, time and culture.
So, in a way, it is true, although not truth.
No what about conservativsm? Is a Spanish Francho Fascist a conservative? Is a literary dreamer like Russel Kirk, who pined for a world that never was is he a conservative too?
How about the rigid Taliban that insist on no deviation from the word of God?
So, if they all consider themselves conservative, well then the word isn’t too helpful. Like Alice in Wonderland, it means what ever the speaker at the time wants it to mean.
In other words, it’s useless.
