    Yep. Fusionism was an historical accident. Actual conservatism is inherently anti-capitalism, bc free markets are dynamic, individualistic, & all about social mobility--whereas conservatism is about status, hierarchy, & social permanence. Which is why I'm not a conservative.https://twitter.com/PMatzko/status/1292910147891757056 …

    It is not surprising that conservatism is trending away from support for free markets; it's surprising that there was this odd half century interregnum of conservative support in the first place. The natural political-economic home for the Right is Toryism or populism.

        This is why "libertarian conservative" is an oxymoron. Libertarianism's a species of liberalism, bc it prioritizes the liberation of the individual. Modern liberals think that can be accomplished thro the welfare state. Libertarians think it's better achived thro free markets.

        Same for me. I still remember when Sam Francis (whose Middle American Revolution paved the way for Trumpism) called capitalism "the enemy." He hated that free markets treat everyone's dollar the same. That's why I love markets.

        In my case, Russell Kirk, Richard Weaver, Robert Nisbet & others we read in my senior seminar at Hillsdale. Fortunately for me, I encountered them simultaneously with Virginia Postrel and Karl Popper. Boy, that was quite a year.

        Correct. I think people who think for a living can conflate counting votes with the abstract coherence of various ideologies (or whatever intellectual status one considers conservatism!).

        Accident? The pre-New Deal conservatives emphasized limited govt, laissez-faire economics, individual liberty. The American Liberty League was anti-New Deal conservatives. Even the New Conservatives claimed the American revolution as a conservative action against royal overreach.

        Fusionism isn't between European-style conservatives and libertarians. American conservatives have historically been what Europeans call liberals, or in UK most similar to Whigs, explicitly anti-Tory. And when the American right has gone populist, like now, it loses those folks.
