Conservatives for Socialism

As has been observed before, the simple equation of conservatism with ideological support of capitalism is wrong. The conservative impulse, both among elements of the wealthy and, especially importantly, the poorer classes, can reflect a deep hatred of capitalism.
Conservatives should be reassured that in a socialist society those institutions which contribute social value will be upheld, protected from the relentless tendency of capitalism to monetarise, cheapen and undermine all that it can.
​In their lives will be a new stability, for they too will be able to plan. They will be able to develop more meaningful lives knowing they have a degree of material stability and autonomy presently enjoyed only by the wealthy.
