by Summary:
Conservatives are about conserving and that means orienting toward tradition, that is, the past. Classical liberalism was a product of 18th century thought, specifically "the Enlightenment." Attempting to return to the past in the 21st century, especially as far back as the 18th century, is a fool's errand. In this sense, orthodox Marxism is also conservative in that it looks to the 19th century, and "orthodox" economics in contrast to "heterodox" economics looks to the 20th century. Orthodox religions look back centuries, if not millennia. Time to move on. We should remember that we "stand of the shoulders of giants." But we need to build on them instead of worshipping them.
