I think of a straight line.

On the far left end is despotism, totalitarianism.

At the far right is freaking anarchy, an everything goes, every man for himself cluster foxtrot.

For me, conservatism when properly done, lies right in the middle with a reliance on personal responsibility and the least amount of government needed to carry out its Constitutional duties.
