Your notion of where the modern divide lies is 100% European and won’t hold true when you consider all nations.

Also if you are going to wikipedia for”conservative” you should note the three guys listed at the top argue for different governmental systems. If this is news to you then it’s best to stop here.

We said free and fair which is not the same as free and democratic.

If giving the Cubans the choice to no longer pursue Marxism resulted in them choosing to no longer follow Marxism why should that be stopped? If that was what the population wanted why should the state force them to adhere to an unwanted ideology?

i have news for you the Ayatollah of Iran also a conservative. This is because “conservative” is a position

You’re being incredibly euro-centric with your claims here.

The division of political ideologies into left and right derives from the French Parliament which had the monarchists on the right and the liberals on the left.

Every reference to right and left stems from this so yes in fact Liberalism has always been where the left starts even if liberals are nit leftists because the political left is anti-authoritarian.

The binary has not changed and I promise you any claim ypu make to the contrary is going to be mired in euro-centric beliefs.

They state “In fact, conservatives are a type of liberal” and that’s objectively incorrect.

I have yet to discover any way in which for profit investments in health care provide better results.

That’s Dave Bautista not Batista.

Im a different poster than the last person and generally unfamiliar with the Cuban electoral structure, are they able to run non-communist/non-Marxist candidates? If they cannot legally do so they do not have free elections using the standard definition of “free elections”.

Fascism is on the rise because Russian intelligence has been pushing it into the mainstream media of the West for decades since the fall of the USSR. As one of my professors who was ex-KGB put it in 1998 “lots of my former colleagues are still very angry that their society was just destroyed and want revenge onthose nations celebrating that fall”.

The wealthy in the USA at least have never not had a fascination with fascism on some level so it was easy to push them towards accepting it.

Liberalism is literally and historically where the left begins. The right is authoritarianism and the left is liberalism to anarchism. Liberals are not leftists but it is a signof a distinct lack of education in political philosophy to claim liberalism as a right wing ideology.

No they are not unless if they are conservative Liberals. A conservative Maoist and a conservative libertarian have very different ideologies despite being conservative within their own binaries. This is due to the fact that conservatism is a position in a binary and is not an ideology.

You can be a conservative and be illiberal.

Liberalism is an ideology. Conservatism is a position on an ideologic binary. Uf you ascribe to Liberalism you are claiming belief in a very specific form of government and economy. If you claim to be a conservative you need to clarify what kind of conservative you are.
