The Right Kind Of Conservative Is Desirable


I keep going on about the wonders of conservatism. Let me qualify that deserved praise. Hitler and his followers were conservative after a fashion, but that type of totalitarian group fascism and right-wing mass movement is wholly repulsive and to be rejected.

Religious, political and economic conservatives and their brand of mild conservatism at work in a bourgeois democracy is acceptable and favorable.

What really interests me is individual-oriented emphasis in politics, religion, economics and concerning cultural topics. To blend rational egoism with self-actualization theory and the philosophy of moderation will give rise to countries made up of cantons heavy on local control, run by the individuator-citizens that live there. That brand of conservatism is exemplary and allows people to lead free, happy, prosperous lives.
