    Conservatism is tends towards some degree of authoritarianism.

    There are no policies that are uniquely conservative, or uniquely anything for that matter. When taken together, however, you can see conservativism form before your eyes.

      Eh, so does Western Liberalism and basically every other government for the last hundreds of years, I’d argue that they are even authoritarian to very similar degrees but about different things.
