Robert Vienneau — Conservatism According to Corey Robin
The basic principles of conservatism are 1) some are better than others and 2) conserving the past, when #1 applies. Therefore, governance needs to be hierarchical and "traditional." No "risky" new experiments.
How this is expressed results in different varieties of conservatism historically.
Liberals are quite conservative too once they're in power.
