Conservatism is a cultural, social, and political philosophy and ideology that seeks to promote and preserve traditional institutions, customs, and values.

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property, and equality before the law.

These are just different ways of describing support for the status quo with different flavor modifiers. The core of both is the protection of Capital from any threats from the left (aka socialism, the democracy of the workers, removing power from the owners of capital).

This is why from a leftist perspective, they are essentially the same in that they both are against any actual emancipation of the working class if it threatens the existing power structures of capital owners.

It’s extra funny because SK and KMT in Taiwan are starting to change their alliances with all the evidence of the declining US empire piling up. SK is now antagonizing Pissreal and KMT leadership is having historic meetings with China.

Only the ideologically committed Ukraine is still all-in on US/Pissreal fascism.

ALL of Lebanon, not just the south. check along any border where there are small towns on each side, and the Lebanon side does not have any label names while the other side does.

Sounds like the lack of US missile interceptors Israel.

The inverted red, pink, purple, black, and blue triangles have all been reclaimed by various remembrance and anti-fascist groups, particularly in Europe. For example, the Association of Persecutees of the Nazi Regime – Federation of Antifascists (VVN-BdA) and other members of the International Federation of Resistance Fighters – Association of Anti-Fascists use the red triangle as part of their emblem.

The Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) historically opposed the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) due to ideological differences, particularly regarding the approach to socialism and the use of revolutionary tactics.

I wonder how that worked out. Oh, right.
