I am sure you can appreciate that you’ve defined it as you see it and I am merely doing the same?All always you are choosing what you want it to be and interperate it to suot your values , while I am stating what it is, if any one of them you don't beleive, you are not a social conservative.,
Just like I agree with most of blanquism, I beleive in socialist revolution as a mass movement not a small group of intellectuals in a coup so will never be tied to that particular left wing ideology
There’s no 10 commandments of social conservatism, there is nuance, just as there is on the left and how your views differ from other socialists/social democrats on here.
Opinions change too.
The socialists of 1950 Britain were pro death penalty, wanted limits on immigration and voted to keep homosexuality illegal.
The conservatives of 1910 thought whites were superior to blacks, and many did after this year.
Now, most conservatives don’t and find those views abhorrent. All of us disagree with homosexuality being illegal now.
People are very complex and ideas sway even within particular movement/ideologies.
The “father of modern conservatism” Edmund Burke was half Irish and thought Ireland should be independent of the crown. That rips up modern perception of the ideology and he founded it haha!
You don’t support a coup by a small group, you want to change hearts and minds but some do and are willing to kill for it. Do I judge you by them? Nah, course I don’t.
I actually completely understand why you have the economic views you do, I just slightly disagree and think a private market is better, but keeping the safety net you want.
