Will conservativism exist in 2050?

Answer 1

To start with... modern conservatism is not a political dogma, as such, as it is a method of governance. One could be of any political stripe and be a conservative... i.e. a communist conservative, a democrat conservative, a republican conservative, ... , etc.

Modern conservatism came about in the wake of the reign of terror in the french revolution... the horror of which compelled polemics of that period to reevaluate the conventional political theories of that time... hense the beginning of the conservative movement.

In an attempt to devise a theory of governance that would reduce the likelyhood of a repeat of the blood letting of the reign of terror... a method of governance that emphasized and embraced gradual change [as opposed to draconian change] with an ardent respect for the law of unintended consequences... i.e. sticking to the tried and true for the most part and tweeking the process of governance over time to accommodate for changing times.

To answer your opening question... modern conservatism is for all intensive purposes probably already over with.. though I caution... be careful what you wish for!

With an attempt to be brief... neoprogressives [neoliberals] have taken over the democratic party... kicked out the classic liberals [except for Lieberman,who they tryed and failed to kick out]... The classic liberals only option inorder to regain some political power was to go into and take over the republican party after which the neoprogressives [James Carvel in particular] called the classic liberals who went over to the republican party "neocons" which was intended to be a pajorative. They were also referred to by descent polemics as Reagen Democrats. This political exodus was poiniantly
made when Reagan answered the question," why did you change parties?", in which he replied. " I didn't change parties... my party changed", which is in fact what happened.
And the classic liberals brought their big spending habits with them.

To day... none of the supposedly republican candidates are authentic republicans or authentic conservative Goldwater republicans. their at best RINOS, Republicans In Name Only.

This goes for Ron Paul as well, who is really a libertarian.

I'm a Libertarian with a capital "C" as Hayek, Freedman, and Greenspan would say... though the libertarian party has become a joke as well since it has been taken over by marxist anarchists who want a revolution and potheads who want to legalize marijuana.

I said be careful for what you wish for... because now we're screwed!

We're now stuck with two parties who are in reality competing with each other as to who can promise [and spend] the most to their constiguents inorder to maintain their political power.

Well... the neoprogressives will win that game hands down... but the plaebian masses will lose either way.

The next depression is going to make the last one seem like a walk in the park. No one will be patiently waiting in soup lines like they did in the last depression... for the neoprogressives have significantly stamped out filial piety
out of our society. The next depression is going to be like Katrina, the L.A. riots, the Watts riots, ... , and then some.

There will be blood in the streets!

And I'm not being metaphorical!

P.S. the political terms LEFT and RIGHT also come from the french revolution... where the radicals who were calling for radical draconian change and insighting a revolution sat on the LEFT side of the national assemby... while those who opposed the revolutionary intentions of the radicals sat on the RIGHT side of the national assembly. That's why marxists call anyone who opposes their struggle for revolution "rightwing reactionaries".

Now I ask you... who was Hitler and Mussolini reacting against? They were both ardent socialists and beligerant revolutionaries for the socialist cause [though opposed communist style socialism]. Fascism is a socialist doctine. NAZI is a german phonetic abbreviation for National Sozialist Germans Workers Party. You have all been hoodwinked by revisionist marxist socialist academic bloats such a Howard Zinn and Noam Choamsky who didn't want to be associated with Hitler and Mussolini because they gave socialism a bad name... which prior to Hilter... fascist socialism had many proponents since it was seen as a cure for the global depression in the 1930's. That's why Roosevelt was accused of being a fascist by some in response to his draconian New Deal legislation which included the government taking over numerous industries. Truth be told... both Hitler and Mussolini were leftist revolutionary radicals pushing for draconian change... not rightwing reactionaries sticking to the tried and true. Be seriously concerned of what will come in the wake of the next depression... for the present day has many ominus parallels to pre-Hitler Germany... as regards to leftist rhetoric about a third-way... bringing corporations under stake-holder-control... political correctness... speech codes... identiy politics... universal this... universal that... and your all buying into it.

Hitler declared that germany must be rid of capitalism, religion, and jews.

The rhetoric of leftists today [the nation, air america, michael moore, ... ,etc.] is... America must be rid of capitalism, religion, and christians [thought antisemitism remains strong on the left as well... the right supports Isreal]

Answer 2

Conservatism isn't any specific position. Instead, it's the desire to keep things the same as they used to be during an idealized past. So in 2050, conservatives will still exist, but instead of pointlessly trying to return to the phony days of the 1950s like conservatives now do, they'll be whining about going back to the good-old 2000's.
