You completely missed my point. I know what communism was about.
One of the tenets of conservatism is keeping things like they were. My point is that there has to be more than that otherwise communism would be conservatism at least according to some who wish things were as they were under the Soviet Union.
If all you got out of
hang on to the good from the past; don’t accept the “new” simply because it sounds good, critique it on the basis of the common experience of mankind; allow the peculiarities that have grown up as a result of history to survive if not flourish, rather than imposing “rational” solutions on everything...accept that life is tragic is "keeping things like they were", there really isn't any point in answering you any more.
