- Thread-topic: [PEN-L] Red Baiting Labor Studies
what is a "conservative" anyway? it seems very subjective. aren't environmentalists "conservatives" because they want to conserve the earth? arent't democratically-oriented Marxists "conservatives" because they want to conserve humanity in the face of the capitalist juggernaut?
how about if we define "conservative" in terms of defending established societal privilege? that makes more
sense. Those who defend racial and gender privileges would then be clear conservatives. And so-called "libertarians" (free marketeers) are conservatives because they want the power of money wealth to run the world -- while covering up the implication of their theory with rhetoric of "freedom".
