An attack on conservatism

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Most conservatives claim that their ideology upholds individual liberty. How exactly does this manifest itself?

I can't really think of any conservative political party anywhere which has sought to further social freedom. If anything, many conservative organisations possess socially authoritarian/conservative wings. Ultimately the only freedoms conservatives care for are economic ones (such as the right to do business, make profits and free markets.)

    Hrm... well I'm not for the bourgeoius, I'd like to see a more equal society personally.

    I think the Tories encourage freedom, you just gotta have cash to buy it.

    The Tories have never sought to enhance freedom.

    Maybe some Conservatives are social liberals nonetheless they are few and far between.

    Every Political party is fucked up, join the Jazza party. We do nothing, you pay nothing (until 2005 )
