This page covers the political concept of conservatism. For a page on conservatism from a philosophical perspective, see the
Philosophyball Page
"People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors."
"In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, 'I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away.' To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: 'If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.'"
Conservatism is a cultural, social, and political philosophy and ideology that seeks to promote and preserve traditional institutions, customs, and values. The central tenets of conservatism may vary in relation to the culture and civilization in which it appears. In Western culture, depending on the particular nation, conservatives seek to promote and preserve a range of institutions, such as the nuclear family, organized religion, the military, the nation-state, property rights, rule of law, aristocracy, and monarchy. Conservatives favor institutions and practices that enhance social order and historical continuity. Overall, conservatism is an economically and civically variable,
culturally right ideology, although a few conservative ideologies are
culturally center.
History
The first established use of the term "conservatism" in a political context originated in 1818 with François-René de Chateaubriand. Conservatism has since been used to describe a wide range of views that aim to maintain certain traditional views, but no single set of policies is associated with the term.
United States 
The meaning of "conservatism" in the United States is quite different in comparison with what people from other parts of the world consider conservatism; when they talk about conservatism they usually refer to
Liberalism or
Neoliberalism. Since the 1950s, conservatism in the United States has been chiefly associated with the Republican Party. However, during the era of segregation, many Southern Democrats were the ones considered conservatives.
American conservatism is best defined as a
synthesis of conservative philosophy with
classical liberal values.
As such, characteristics defining most conservatives in the United States include support for the
traditional family,
law and order,
the right to bear arms,
Christian values,
anti-socialism, and defense of
"Western civilization, its traditions, and way of life". About major economic policies in general that they defend are, along with
Libertarians, favor, low taxes, limited regulation, and free enterprise, although most conservatives in the US are also
Keynesian, which are the economic policies that mostly differentiate them from most Libertarians. Some of them also see
religion as an important part of Western Civilization and are opposed to
secularism, and separation of the church and the state.
They are also considered
Neoconservatives and foreign interventionists, assimilationists, and at some points also
imperialists, they believe in strong morals and are in favor of intervening in other places that do not align with these values. Another part of American conservatism is trying to stop the spread of
Socialism.
Other modern GOP positions include deregulation and (sometimes, but not always)
opposition to environmentalism. Some conservatives, such as
paleoconservatives,
libertarian conservatives, and
paleolibertarians advocate for a
non-interventionist foreign policy.
Economic Liberalism and social conservatism are major principles of the Republican Party, but they are not in opposition to bail-outs and, in general, certain interventionism.
Germany 

In Germany, Conservatism grew alongside
Nationalism, resulting in Germany's victory over France in the Franco-Prussian War, the formation of the United German Empire in 1871, and Otto von Bismarck's simultaneous rise in the European political stage.
With the rise of
Nazism in 1933,
agrarian movements faded away, replaced by a more command-based economy and forced social integration. Although Adolf Hitler was able to win the support of many German industrialists, prominent
traditionalists opposed his policies of euthanasia, genocide, and attacks on organized religion.
More recently, the work of the conservative
Christian Democratic Union leader and Chancellor Helmut Kohl has helped bring about German reunification and closer European integration in the form of the Maastricht Treaty.
Today, German conservatism is often linked to politicians such as
Angela Merkel. Who can be defined by her marked attempts to save the common European currency (Euro) from devaluation and other certainly important financial issues.
France 
Another form of conservatism developed in France in parallel to conservatism in Britain. It was influenced by
Counter-Enlightenment works by men such as Joseph de Maistre and Louis de Bonald. Many continentals or traditionalist conservatives do not support the separation of church and state, with most supporting state recognition of and cooperation with the
Catholic Church, such as had existed in France before the Revolution.
They also added
patriotism, and
Nationalism to the list of traditional values they support. Conservatives were the first to embrace Nationalism and the Revolution in France, contemporary conservatism in France is deeply influenced by Gaullism and one of his main representatives is the ex-president Nikolas Sarkozy and his party.
Spain 
The People's Party was created in January 1989 by a "refoundation" of the People's Alliance (AP).
This federation of conservative parties was founded in 1976 by former personalities of the Franco regime who had decided not to join the Union of the Democratic Center (UCD). Its main leader is the former Francoist minister Manuel Fraga.
The AP entered into a deep crisis after its 1987 congress, which followed the failure of the Popular Coalition in the June 1986 elections and the distribution of Fraga. The latter finally decides to take over the leadership of the party and to ensure a profound renovation. The January 1989 congress, therefore, marked the birth of the People's Party, which broadened its ideological base to the ideals of
Economic liberalism and
Christian democracy. It then absorbed the Liberal Party (PL) and the Christian Democracy (DC), becoming the hegemonic party of the center-right and the right in Spain.
On September 4, the PP invests by the decision of Fraga the president of the Junta of Castile, and León José María Aznar leader for the anticipated general elections of the following month, after having dismissed Isabel Tocino and Marcelino Oreja. During the ballot, Aznar failed to break the glass ceiling which had blocked the Spanish right since 1982 with 25.8% of the vote and 107 deputies out of 350. A new congress, convened in April 1990, carried Aznar to the presidency of the Party popular, while Manuel Fraga received the title of founding president.
Russia 
Under Vladimir Putin, the dominant leader since 1999,
Russia has promoted explicitly conservative policies in social, cultural, and political matters, both at home and abroad but has attacked multiple times economic
Liberalism, which differentiates them from other conservatives. Putinist conservatism is unique in some respects as it supports
economic intervention with a mixed economy, with strong
nationalist sentiment and social conservatism, opposing largely most of the
Libertarians' ideals. Unlike most Western conservatives, Putin's version promotes a
Kleptocratic form of government over a democratic one, is
Elitist and mostly opposed to populism.
United Kingdom 
Conservatism in the
United Kingdom is similar to its counterparts in other Western nations, but has a distinct tradition and has varied over time.
During and after World War II, the Conservative Party made concessions to
Democratic Socialist's policies of the left. The basis of the post-war consensus was the Beveridge Report. Between 1945 and 1970 (consensus years) unemployment averaged less than 3% as "full employment" was the policy of both Conservative and Labour governments. The post-war consensus included a belief in
Keynesian economics, a mixed economy with the nationalization of major industries, the establishment of the National Health Service, and the establishment of a modern welfare state in Britain.
However, in the 1980s, under the leadership of Margaret Thatcher, and the influence of Keith Joseph, there was a dramatic shift in the ideological direction of British conservatism, with a movement towards, what are considered free-market economic policies and reforms.
In efforts to rebrand and increase the party's appeal, following three consecutive defeats in the general elections, both leaders have adopted policies that align with more
moderate views. This has included a "greener" environmental and energy stance, and the adoption of some socially modernist views, such as acceptance of ![]()
same-sex marriage. However, these policies have been accompanied by
fiscal conservatism, in which they have maintained a hard stance on bringing down the deficit, and embarked upon a program of economic austerity.
Beliefs
Traditions
Despite variations in definition, conservatism generally values certain common themes. Michael Oakeshott describes conservatism as preferring the familiar over the unknown, the tried over the untried, and facts over mysteries. It favors the actual over the possible, limits over boundlessness, and the present over the distant future. This traditionalism reflects trust in proven methods of social organization, often giving weight to past generations' experiences. Traditions also contribute to a sense of identity.
Hierarchy
Some left-wing thinkers, like Corey Robin, define conservatism differently, seeing it as defending social and economic inequality rather than upholding traditional institutions. They view conservatism as a response to feeling threatened and trying to regain power. However, conservatism also fears the corruption that can come from established hierarchies. Some conservative communities value social hierarchies, giving importance to factors like age and wisdom. Conservatives may admire hierarchies, believing they're essential for order, as expressed by philosopher Nicolás Gómez Dávila's saying: "Hierarchies are celestial. In hell all are equal." The term "hierarchy" has religious origins, meaning "rule of a high priest."
Realism
Conservatism sees human imperfection as a fundamental belief. It's skeptical about improving human nature through idealistic plans. Thomas Hobbes, considered a key figure for conservative thought, described human nature as harsh and short-lived, suggesting a need for strong central authority.
Authority
Conservatism values authority, particularly traditional authority. This kind of authority is based on longstanding traditions and the legitimacy of those in power. There are two types: the authority of fathers and the authority of masters, like priests, monarchs, aristocrats, and military leaders. The decline of traditional authority is linked to the disappearance of old institutions like guilds and families, which used to connect individuals and the state. This decline is seen as a crisis for modern society, as traditional authorities are essential for maintaining a stable civilization.
Reactionism
Reactionism in right-wing politics opposes social changes and favors maintaining the status quo. It's often associated with conservative views that resist social, political, and economic transformations. Some conservatives seek to return to past traditions rather than embracing change. While some see "reactionary" and "conservative" as similar, others argue they're different. Reactionaries may idealize past societies and values, like German Romanticism did with medievalism. Being labeled a reactionary is typically seen negatively. However, some writers, like Julius Evola and John Lukacs, have embraced the term.
Personality
Conservatism loves tradition and old values. He usually does not like ![]()
LGBTQ+ advocates ![]()
, but sometimes accepts
Homoconservatism. He thinks that
women and
men are fundamentally different.
Stylistic Notes
- He votes for various center-right political parties (Republican Party of America, Conservative Party of England, Conservative Party of Canada, Republican Party of France, etc).
- He does not like left wing ideologies like
socialism,
communism,
anarcho-communism, etc. - He loves his country, almost as much as
National Conservatism.

Quotes
"Conservatism, we are told, is out-of-date. This charge is preposterous and we ought to boldly say so. The laws of God, and of nature, have no dateline. These principles are derived from the nature of man, and from the truths that God has revealed about His creation. To suggest that the Conservative philosophy is out-of-date is akin to saying that the Golden Rule, or the Ten Commandments or Aristotle’s Politics are out-of-date."
"I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many or the prejudices of the few."
"How is the United States at once the most conservative and commercial and the most revolutionary society on Earth?"
"Conservatism proper is a legitimate, probably necessary, and certainly widespread attitude of opposition to drastic change. It has, since the French Revolution, for a century and a half played an important role in European politics. Until the rise of socialism, its opposite was liberalism... There is nothing corresponding to this conflict in the history of the United States, because what in Europe was called "liberalism" was here the common tradition on which the American polity had been built: thus the defender of the American tradition was a liberal in the European sense."
"All conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change. If you leave a white post alone it will soon be a black post. If you particularly want it to be white you must be always painting it again; that is, you must be always having a revolution."
"What do you do […] when you are not blinded by ideology, and you see the world and all its dramatic characters clearly? Well, you do not hope for the infinite perfectibility of humanity and aim your system at some unattainable utopia. You try to design a system that sinners such as you cannot damage too badly—too permanently—even when they are half blind and resentful. To the degree that I am conservative in orientation, I believe in the wisdom of that vision."
"Every Conservative desires peace."
"I'm a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order."
"This struggle to preserve the old creeds, cultures, and countries of the West is the new divide between Left and Right; this struggle will define what it means to be a conservative. This is the cause of the twenty-first century and the agenda of conservatism for the remainder of our lives."
"Donald Trump is a symptom, not a disease. The disease is the death of real political conservatism: a cool, intelligent reluctance to believe that all change is good, a love for the established, the particular and the well-worn. During the 1980s, many people mistook Thatcherism and Reaganism, actually a wild form of liberalism, for conservatism. They lapped up the temporary riches it provided and now find themselves yearning for leaders to take them back to a world of secure jobs and secure borders."
"Conservatism is itself a modernism, and in this lies the secret of its success."
"The conservative response to modernity is to embrace it, but to embrace it critically, in full consciousness that human achievements are rare and precarious, that we have no God-given right to destroy our inheritance, but must always patiently submit to the voice of order, and set an example of orderly living."
"Conservatism starts from a sentiment that all mature people can readily share: the sentiment that good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created."
"I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism."
"All great peoples are conservative; slow to believe in novelties; patient of much error in actualities; deeply and forever certain of the greatness that is in law, in custom once solemnly established, and now long recognized as just and final."
"Generally young men are regarded as radicals. This is a popular misconception. The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates. The radicals are the men past middle life."
