    it is conservatives who are anti authoritarian govt( tax cuts etc) and liberals the opposite. You manage to get everything backwards thanks to parroting your old world education. Welcome to the new world!!

    How's the debt expansion under conservative government? How's the military industrial complex? How's the aggressive foreign policy?

    You continue to show no understanding. Conservatism does not stand for limited government. In terms of political economy, it really just refers to weighting losses more than gains.

    So far tonight you've celebrated slave ownership and noted that links to white supremacy do not matter. You do like to dig!

    Nope. Reference to the obvious. Economics forum, use political economy definition.

    There's no school of economic thought with conservatism. It's merely a weighting system that encourages the status quo.
